I served my Katsudon with multigrains rice (Gokuku rice)

This premix multigrain is very convenient to use and is available in most Japanese mart. Add 1 packet into 2 cup of Japanese rice with additional 40 ml water to cook.  

I am submitting this post to Asian Food Fest #1 Oct 2013: Japan, hosted by Alan of travelling-foodies. 

Same recipe to make Tonkatsu.

Serve it as a set with rice and miso soup!
