Description

Japanese Katsu Bowls with Tonkatsu Sauce feature crispy lamb cutlets served over fluffy rice, topped with fresh cabbage and a delicious homemade sauce.


Ingredients

Scale

2 boneless lamb cutlets

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

½ cup all-purpose flour

1 large egg

beaten

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

¼ cup vegetable oil (for frying)

¼ cup ketchup

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon honey

2 cups cooked white rice

1 cup shredded cabbage

1 green onion

sliced

½ teaspoon sesame seeds


Instructions

  • Season the lamb cutlets with salt and black pepper.
  • Prepare a breading station with flour on one plate, the beaten egg in a bowl, and panko breadcrumbs on another plate.
  • Dredge each lamb cutlet first in the flour, then dip in the beaten egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the breaded cutlets until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • While the katsu cooks, mix the tonkatsu sauce ingredients (ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, Dijon mustard, and honey) in a bowl.
  • Once cooked, place the katsu on a cutting board and slice into strips.
  • Serve the sliced katsu over cooked white rice, topped with shredded cabbage, sliced green onion, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of tonkatsu sauce.

Notes

For extra crunch, you can double coat the cutlets by repeating the breading step. Serve with extra tonkatsu sauce on the side.
