My mom's home cooked Japanese cuisine is easily considered my ultimate comfort food. Here is her famous Tonkatsu dinner. Tonkatsu is breaded and fried pork cutlets with a sweet vinegaresque sauce drizzled on top.
Delicious Miso Soup with taro root
The Taro Root before going into the soup.
Fried Tofu with Bokchoy
Tonkatsu on a bed of fresh cabbage
Pickled Persian Cucumbers
Candied Lotus Roots with julienne peppers
And the BEST thing about Tonkatsu is what the leftovers are made into...KATSUDAN! The remaining pork cutlets are cooked with carmelized onions and sweet eggs. Throw it on top a hot bowl of rice and you have dinner for the next night!
