Katsudon from Air Fryer Tonkatsu

  • 3 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup dashi stock (or chicken stock)
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sake (I used Mirin)
  • ¼ teaspoonpotato starch
  • 2 teaspoonsvegetable oil
  • 90 gramsonion (thinly sliced about ½ small )
  • 380 grams Tonkatsu (1 very thick cutlet or 2 thinner ones)
  • 1 scallion (chopped, for garnish)
  • 2 bowls cooked short-grain rice

Katsudon

  • 1 lb pork loin or tenderloin or other pork cutlet
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • salt and pepper
  • oil spray
    Katsu Sauce:
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 2 tbs oyster sauce
  • 2 tbs Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • Wrap your pork in plastic wrap or put in a ziploc bag. Tenderize using a rolling pin or meat tenderizer.
  • Optional step: Place your panko in a skillet and toast on stovetop on medium heat until panko turns golden brown (about 3-5 minutes).
  • Mix eggs and flour in a shallow dish.
  • Lightly salt and pepper your pork.
  • Dip pork in the egg/flour batter, making sure both sides are well coated.
  • Dip battered pork in the (cooled down) toasted panko, firmly pressing panko into the sides.
  • Preheat air fryer to 360 degrees F.
  • Place in basket, spray with oil spray, and air fry at 360 degrees for 15-20 minutes, depending on how thick your pork cutlet is. My pork that was about 3/4 inches thick took 18 minutes.
  • Tonkatsu is commonly served over rice with katsu sauce (you can buy this at an Asian market) and cabbage salad.

Instructions

  • Break the eggs into a bowl and mix until the yolks are broken, but there are still separate areas of white and yolk.
  • Add the dashi, sugar, soy sauce sake and potato starch to a bowl and stir to combine.
  • Add the oil and onions to a non-stick frying pan over medium high heat and saute the onions until soft and just starting to brown.
  • Push the onions to the edge of the pan and add the tonkatsu in the center.
  • Pour the sauce around the cutlet and cover for 1 minute to let the sauce thicken and the katsu reheat.
  • Remove the lid and flip the katsu over using a spatula. This ensures the katsu is well seasoned on both the top and bottom.
  • Pour the egg all over and around the katsu and sprinkle on the green onions. Cover and steam until the egg is just a little less cooked than you want. Personally I like my egg creamy, so I let it steam until the egg is set on the bottom but still a little runny on top. By the time it gets to the table, the residual heat cooks it to a creamy custard texture.
  • Put the hot rice into bowls and cover with the tonkatsu and egg mixture, drizzling any remaining sauce on top.

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. (I use my air fryer instead).
  • Spray baking sheet with gluten-free cooking spray.
  • Place the gluten-free Bisquick mix, parmesan cheese, paprika, and garlic salt in a large plastic storage bag.
  • Cut chicken breasts into nugget size pieces. An easy way to cut chicken breasts into nugget size pieces is to cut the chicken breasts in half and then in half again. Cut the chicken quarter pieces into nugget size pieces.
  • I like to brine my chicken pieces for 30 minutes (2 cups water and a little over 1 T salt and a few dashes of Worcestershire)
  • Place the chicken pieces in the bowl of beaten egg. Stir the chicken until the pieces are fully covered in egg.
  • Place the egg covered chicken pieces into the plastic storage bag with the gluten-free Bisquick mixture. Turn the bag over and over again until the chicken pieces are fully coated with the gluten-free Bisquick mixture.
  • Melt the butter in a glass measuring cup or small microwave-safe dish. 
  • Place the coated chicken on the greased baking sheet. Drizzle melted butter over the chicken. (I have used olive oil instead and it worked fine).
  • Bake for 20 minutes and until golden brown. (I prefer to Air fry at 400 degrees F for 8-10 minutes, or until fully cooked through. Flip the chicken halfway through the cook time.)
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!

Air Fryer Hasselback Potatoes

  • I just use potatoes, cover with Olive Oil and Salt or Lawry’s, Air fry for a long time, add some butter to crisp up.
  • 2 small to medium Russet potatoes
  • ▢1 1/2 tablespoons ghee, melted (or butter)
  • ▢2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ▢salt and pepper
  • ▢2 tablespoons minced fresh chives

Instructions 

  • Wash and dry the potatoes. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice down the potato but not all the way through leaving the bottom part of the potato intact. Continue slicing all the way across in 1/8″ slices.
  • Brush the melted ghee or butter all over the potatoes including in between each slice. Season liberally with salt, pepper and the minced garlic taking care to again get in between the slices.
  • Place the potatoes on the tray of an air fryer (or in the basket) and air fry at 400°F for 30 minutes or until edges are golden brown and potato is tender. Cooking time will be slightly longer for larger potatoes.
  • Remove from the air fryer, brush with any remaining melted ghee and sprinkle with the fresh chives before serving.
  • These are best served warm right out of the air fryer for the crispiest result.
