Katsudon is a pork cutlet rice bowl. Salty sweet flavor goes great with white rice! I hope you like it.

You can make it from 1 serving, perfect for a quick meal ;)




Deep Frying Oil I used:


Hon-Dashi (packaged Dashi powder):


---------------------------------

Katsudon


Difficulty: Easy
Time: 30min
Number of servings: 1 serving

Ingredients:
((Tonkatsu))
1 boneless pork chops
salt and ground black pepper
* flour
* beaten egg
* Panko (bread crumbs)
vegetable oil for deep frying
((Katsudon))
1 Tonkatsu
1 egg
30g (1/6) onion
* 75ml water
* a pinch of Hon-Dashi (packaged Dashi powder)
* 2 tsp. soy sauce
* 2 tsp. Mirin (sweet Sake)
Mitsuba (Japanese wild parsley) if you have
1 bowl of cooked white rice

Directions:
((Tonkatsu))
1. Slash the fat rimming of pork chops in several places to keep the meat from curling or shrinking when deep-fried. Pound the pork chops with a meat mallet or a rolling pin to make them tender. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Flour the pork chops lightly, dip in beaten egg, then coat with Panko. Use one hand for coating flour and Panko, and use the other to dip in egg to keep one of your hands dry.
3. Deep fry them in oil at 170C (340F) until thoroughly cooked golden brown. (Turn the pork over to cook evenly.) Remove the Tonkatsu from the oil and drain.
((Katsudon))
1. Cut Tonkatsu into small pieces. Slice the onion. Chop Mitsuba (Japanese wild parsley) into small pieces.
2. Put water, Hon-Dashi (packaged Dashi powder), soy sauce, Mirin (sweet Sake) in a pan and bring to a boil.
3. Add onion slices and simmer on low heat for a few minutes until tender.
4. Beat an egg, bring the soup to a boil, pour the egg over the onions, then lightly mix with the chopsticks. Quickly add Mitsuba leaf (Japanese wild parsley), cover, then turn off the heat.
5. Put steamed rice in a rice bowl, place Tonkatsu pieces, pour the simmered egg on top.

* You can simmer the Tonkatsu in the egg but to enjoy crispy Tonkatsu, I will simply pour the simmered egg over the Tonkatsu :D

Lady Gaga Bento - Video Recipe

Many people asked me for an easy bento recipe, so this is the one!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-vKQOs2poQ

When Lady Gaga came Japan in July, she was in green, so I came up with this idea. LoL



In this tutorial, I will use ohitashi which is a common dish cooked in Japan. It is a boiled leaf vegetable (usually spinach) eaten with soy sauce. In my video, I used Kamada Dashi Shoyu (dashi flavored soy sauce) for the seasoning which you can create an authentic Japanese dishes easily!. Try out if you get a chance!

---------------------------------
Lady Gaga Bento

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 30min
Number of servings: 1 bento box

Face: salmon flakes
Hair: komatsuna (mustard spinach)
Lines: Fujikko ni (boiled kelp)
Eyes: nori seaweed and mayonnaise
Hearts and Mouth: ham
Lips: ketchup
Earrings: quail egg
Beauty mark: nori seaweed

Spinach Ohitashi

Ingredients:

100g (3.5oz.) fresh komatsuna (mustard spinach) or spinach
1 tbsp. Kamada Dashi Shoyu (a bit strongly flavored for bento)
*2 tsp. is enough if you are using regular soy sauce
1 tbsp. ground white sesame seeds

Directions:
1. Boil water in a large pot. Add a pinch of salt in the water (salt removes oxalic acid - bitter taste, and makes the spinach nice and green).
2. Wash komatsuna and add in the boiling water from the stem side.
3. Boil spinach for about one minute. Drain and soak the spinach in water to cool. Drain and squeeze the spinach to remove the excess water.
4. Cut spinach into about 1.5 inch lengths.
5. Toss the spinach with Kamada dash soysauce and ground sesame seeds.
---------------------------------


Have fun XD

BTW, I noticed recently that YouTube freezes the view counts at around 300 for few days (sometimes up to a month). I kind of looked forward to seeing how many people viewed my videos, so too bad X'( As a YouTube user, I become to know some facts (not gonna mention but there are more...) that I didn't know as a viewer, which sometimes make me feel bad... but thanks to all the comments from subscribers and my darling's support (he always says "take it easy! it's not your work" haha), I feel positive creating another video soon.

Anyways, yesterday was Marine Day (national holiday), so I had a little fun with my darling for a change :D Maybe I will write about it tomorrow!

However, my boyfriend had a new year's party last night and he e-mailed me this morning that he couldn't come home. I was so shocked and told him that I wouldn't cook at night and then he came home immediately. Whew...

Beef Beer Curry and Rice

As it gets colder, I prefer to cook stew, curry, nabe, etc... to warm up. Today, I will translate one of my curry and rice recipes that my blog friend has requested ;)

I wrote this before, but in Japan, we use "curry roux" to make curry and rice. There are many different kinds of curry roux in Japan. For this recipe, I used Vermont Curry! It's a curry roux with a touch of apple and honey. I'm sure it is available in the U.S.! I found that House Foods America Corporation (HFAC) provides it!!! (Their Java Curry is good, too!)

Oh, remember! The "beer" I added softens the beef and makes the curry mild. It is more like stew and easy to eat. Please try it out!

Video Recipe Available :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nusdJYSErw



---------------------------------
Beef Beer Curry and Rice

Difficulty: Easy

200cc beer
125g (0.27lb.) Vermont Curry (Med-Hot) *Japanese curry roux
1 tbsp. cooking oil
salt
pepper
5 servings steamed Japanese white rice
grape tomatoes if desired

Directions:
1. Use Vermont Curry or you can substitute it with any other Japanese curry roux! Doesn't make a big change!



2. Cut thinly sliced beef into bite size pieces, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Slice onion. Remove tough base of shimeji mushroom and break into bite-sized chunks. Thaw and remove the edamame beans from the pods.

3. Heat cooking oil in a large stew pot, saute the sliced onion over medium heat until it softens. Then add the beef and shimeji mushrooms and saute together.



4. When mushrooms get soft, add 500cc water, bring to a boil, skim the scum, add 200cc beer, and turn the heat down to medium-low and cook for about 15 minutes.



5. Turn off the heat, add Vermont Curry curry roux, and mix well until completely melted. Then put on the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes until thickened.



6. Add edamame beans, stir, and cook 3 more minutes.





7. Serve on a hot bed of rice, garnish with grape tomatoes if desired.




My original recipe in Japanese is here.
---------------------------------


Is thinly sliced beef available in your country?
If not, I recommend to use bite size cut chicken! Any kind of meat is basically okay, though ;)

Oh no... too bad. I just received a message and knew that I lost the lottery to run Tokyo Marathon... Okay, I'll run at gym!!!
