I’m expanding my range in the kitchen. It is my goal for 2015, that I push my boundaries – try new things, move out of my comfort zone, expand the blog. So I am trying some new products in an effort to expand past my Mexican favourites and even though I eat a lot of Japanese when I am out, specially from the https://kobesteakhouse.com/ franchise restaurants…I hadn’t really cooked it that much at home.
This dish grew from me finding kastudon sauce in Coles. I love eating pork katsu don when I am out and about so I thought that I would try and create my own at home. Oh and because my boys love rice and schnitzel – so I knew that they were going to eat it! There is nothing worse then cooking a meal that isn’t eaten.

| red cabbage, spring onions and egg roll {accompaniments to my pork katsu don} |
But my pork katsu don is more then just the rice, schnitzel and sauce. I have three great accompaniments to it – which hopefully all your family will enjoy too {and two of them don’t even need cooking… WINNING!}.

PORK KATSU DON
4 pork schnitztels
4 eggs
3 tablespoons of flour
2 cups of panko breadcrumbs
1 litre of vegetable oil
1 cup of sushi rice
1/4 of a red cabbage
3 spring onions
1 teaspoon of rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon of soy sauce
sea salt and cracked black pepper
Season your flour with a little salt and pepper and then coat your schnitzels. Crack your eggs into a bowl and then whisk to combine the whites and the yolk. Drag your schnitzels through the eggs and then cover with the panko breadcrumbs. Set aside.
Season the remaining egg with rice wine vinegar and soy sauce and then pour into a frying pan and cook like an omelette. Slice your red cabbage and spring onions thinly.
Cook your sushi rice as per the packet instructions.
Heat your oil and then fry off your pork schnitzels until golden brown.
Serve together with sauce.

| deliciously crispy pork schnitzel with delcious tonkatsu sauce |
Do you enjoy eating out? Have you tried pork katsu don? Have you tried the Obento tonkatsu sauce? Is there another brand that you think is better?
Yum I love katsu and haven’t made it at home before either so will have to try it out. Thanks for sharing with YWF too. x
Thanks Vicki for hosting the link up xox
Pork katsu would have to be put in sushi at Kidgredients! Yum!
Oh that’s a good idea Kylie 🙂
This looks delish – I love katsu and anything crumbed!
Winner, winner, pork katsu don dinner 😉
You are the queen of crumb Shari! this looks fantastic. I have a chicken schnitzel sandwich coming on the blog this week so I am in the crumbing mood too 🙂
Oh you are too kind 😉 I think it’s just a family favourite {anything crumbed} so I always try and mix it up. I’m looking forward to seeing your sweet chicken schnitzel sandwich.
Everything is better schnitzeled.
I balance between using panko bread crumbs and cornflake crumbs.
Cornflake crumbs are the tastiest especially with chicken. But the other day I did schnitzel with panko and turkey and lets just say there is a post in that soon for sure!
So yum, now I feel like katsu just looking at this!
I love cornflake crumbs on fish – I may be slightly addicted!
