Katsudon

Katsudon is a special food that comes from Japan. It is made with a yummy fried piece of meat called tonkatsu, which is like a flattened chicken nugget, and a lot of rice. The tonkatsu is battered and fried until it's crispy and golden brown. Then, it is put on top of a bed of rice called donburi.

After that, a special sauce is added called dashi. Dashi gives it a unique flavor that tastes really good with the tonkatsu and the rice. Sometimes, eggs are also included in katsudon. The eggs are cooked with the tonkatsu and the rice and have a soft and gooey texture.

The best part about katsudon is that it is really easy to eat. You can use chopsticks or a fork and just scoop everything in one go. It is a filling and tasty meal that you can enjoy any time of the day.
