Main Ingredients
- 1 Store-bought pork cutlet (Donkatsu)
- 2 Eggs
- 1/2 Small onion
Seasoning Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp Soy sauce (Korean ‘Mat-ganjang’ or seasoned soy sauce, approx. 30ml)
- 1 Tbsp Oligosaccharide (or corn syrup/honey, approx. 15ml)
- 2 Tbsp Soy sauce (Korean ‘Mat-ganjang’ or seasoned soy sauce, approx. 30ml)
- 1 Tbsp Oligosaccharide (or corn syrup/honey, approx. 15ml)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the store-bought pork cutlet. Heat a generous amount of oil in a pan over medium heat, then add the cutlet and fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Achieving a beautiful golden-brown color is key.
Step 2
Crack 2 eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt, and whisk well. Lightly grease a pan over medium-low heat and pour in the egg mixture to make scrambled eggs. Stir with chopsticks as it cooks to achieve a soft, fluffy texture. Set aside.
Step 3
Peel and finely mince half an onion. Place the minced onion in a pan, add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of oligosaccharide.
Step 4
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent and the sauce slightly thickens. This creates a delicious sauce with the sweetness of the onion and the savory depth of the soy sauce. Be careful not to burn it.
Step 5
Transfer the fried pork cutlet to paper towels to drain excess oil. Let it cool slightly, then cut it into bite-sized pieces. Cutting them into larger pieces will enhance the satisfying texture.
Step 6
Fill a bowl with warm rice. Artfully arrange the prepared scrambled eggs around the rice, like flower petals.
Step 7
Evenly spread the cooked onion mixture (seasoned with soy sauce and oligosaccharide) over the scrambled eggs. The sweet and savory onion flavor will beautifully complement the rice and eggs.
Step 8
Neatly place the cut pork cutlet pieces on top of the onion mixture. The crispy cutlet serves as the hearty star of this delicious rice bowl.
Step 9
Finally, drizzle mayonnaise zigzag-style over the pork cutlet to finish! For an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal, you can sprinkle shredded seaweed (gim) or sesame seeds. Enjoy your meal!
