Courtney's Quick Katsudon

A dish I had on repeat in college. Takes only 15-20 mins, thanks to a Trader Joe's shortcut. I find myself cooking it even now, every so often, when I am in a pinch for a quick tasty dinner.

Step 1

Slice the onions into thick strips

Step 2

Heat some oil on low heat in a small skillet (must be small so the egg doesn't spread too thinly, especially if making only 1 serving). Saute the onions until translucent but still mostly rigid.

Step 3

Combine the simmering sauce ingredients then pour over the onions. Watch for splatter.

Step 4

Carefully place orange chicken pieces on top of the onions, straight from the bag from the freezer. Do not thaw.

Step 5

Once the simmering sauce reaches a boil on medium-high heat, beat the eggs in a bowl and pour evenly. The egg should instantly start to solidify. Cover with a lid and simmer for 5 mins.

Step 6

Take off the lid and keep simmering to reduce any remaining liquid and reach desired doneness. Sprinkle green onions, furikake, seaweed, and/or sesame oil. Serve over a bed of warm rice.
