Katsudon is a popular Japanese comfort dish consisting of a crispy, breaded pork cutlet (tonkatsu) served over a bowl of steamed white rice and topped with a savory-sweet mixture of beaten eggs, dashi, soy sauce, and onions. The name "katsudon" combines "katsu" (cutlet) and "donburi" (rice bowl). This hearty dish originates from Japan and is cherished for its satisfying blend of crunchy, tender, and flavorful textures. While katsudon provides a good balance of protein from the pork and eggs, it is also calorie-dense due to the breading, frying, and carb-heavy rice. The dish delivers essential nutrients like iron and vitamin B12 but can be high in sodium and fat depending on preparation. To make a healthier version, it can be paired with brown rice, baked instead of fried, or enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
