If you've never heard of it, Katsudon is basically katsu (a pork chop breaded with panko and fried) over rice with onion and egg. It was awesome, and it became my go-to choice whenever I went to a Japanese place-a fish-less, teriyaki-less haven. Make the Tonkatsu: Season the pork steak slices with salt and pepper. Place the flour, egg, and bread crumbs on separate shallow bowls or plate to get ready for dredging.

Working one pork slice at a time, coat a slice of pork with flour. Shake off excess flour, then place it in the egg to coat all over. Meanwhile beat the eggs in a large bowl. Mix flour, salt and pepper in a plate and pour panko in another plate. Dredge pork in flour, dip into eggs, dip into panko--- then dip into eggs again and back into panko.
