Ingredients

Chicken Katsu

1/2 lbs Chicken Thigh 2 pieces, boneless
1/8 tsp Salt
1/8 tsp Black Pepper
1 Cup Flour
1 Egg beaten
1/3 Cup Panko
1 Stalk Green Onions
2 Bowl Rice rice of choice

Sauce

1/3 Cup Dashi
2 tbsp Japanese Sake
4 tsp Soy Sauce
4 tsp Sweetener your preferred sweetener
1 Egg beaten
1/4 Cup Onions sliced

Instructions

Gather all the ingredients.
Dry the chicken thigh and season with salt and black pepper.
Coat the chicken thigh in flour, dip it in beaten eggs, and cover it with panko breadcrumbs.
Preheat the oil to 350°F. Deep-fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Then, transfer them to a drying rack to remove excess oil.
Prepare dashi and set aside.
Combine dashi, soy sauce, sweetener, and Japanese sake in a frying pan. Bring to a boil. Add sliced onions and simmer for 60 seconds uncovered.
Transfer the chicken katsu into the frying pan, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 1-2 minutes flipping halfway through to let the chicken katsu absorb the flavors of the donburi sauce.
Gradually pour the beaten egg into the pan with the chicken katsu, gently stirring until the egg is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Remove the chicken katsu from the frying pan, slice and transfer eggs onto a bowl of rice, then drizzle the remaining eggs and sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped green onions.
