‘Katsu’ is a Japanese abbreviation for cutlets. Following the pattern of naming Don (Rice Bowl) dishes, cutlets on rice is called ‘Katsu Don’. As it is served with Miso Sauce, the dish is called ‘Miso Katsu Don’. It is a popular dish in Kurashiki City, Okayama, where I used to live.

Thank you for the comment, Chris. My dishes are all easy to make. Some are time-consuming but not difficult. I started writing my recipes for my children but just thinking of someone I don’t know is trying my recipes is to exciting!
