Miso Katsu

Japan · East Asia

Short description: This fried cutlet variation swaps a thin brown sauce for a rich, sweet-savory red miso glaze.
Ingredients: Breaded pork cutlet with red miso sauce, sugar, mirin, rice, and shredded cabbage.
Cultural note: The sauce gives the familiar cutlet a deeper, almost caramelized flavor that stands up to cabbage and rice.
Common misconception: The sauce is not standard cutlet sauce dyed darker; its flavor comes from red miso.
