About Katsu don

Katsu Don is a comforting Japanese dish that combines crispy pork or chicken cutlet, steamed rice, and a savory-sweet sauce. The dish originates from Japan and is a popular example of donburi, where ingredients are served over rice. The breaded and deep-fried meat in Katsu Don is simmered in a flavorful blend of dashi, soy sauce, and mirin, often with onions and a lightly cooked egg on top. While Katsu Don is rich in protein from the meat and egg, it is also high in calories and fats due to the deep-frying process. The white rice base provides carbohydrates but lacks fiber compared to whole-grain alternatives. Health-conscious diners can make adjustments by opting for baked cutlets or brown rice to improve its nutritional profile. Katsu Don's comforting flavors and balanced sweet-savory taste make it an indulgent yet satisfying meal.
