‘Katsu’ is a Japanese abbreviation for ‘Cutlets’. Following the pattern of naming Donburi dishes, cutlets on rice is called ‘Katsu Don’. Usually ‘Tonkatsu’ (Pork Cutlets) are used, but Chicken Cutlets version is also very yummy.

I don’t have Dashi but I do have hontsuyu. Can you tell me how I can substitute hontsuyu for dashi?
I had a recipe that did but I lost it. Thank you.

Hello. I am not sure what ‘Hontsuyu’ is, but it’s probably seasoned dashi stock. I sometimes use chicken stock instead of dashi stock. It depends on how salty the ‘Hontsuyu’ is, but I would add 1 tablespoon of it to Water to make 1 cup of stock. Taste it, and you can add more if you like stronger flavour.
