Dongaseu

Dongaseu (Korean돈가스) is a Korean dish of Japanese origin that consists of a breaded, deep-fried pork cutlet. The name comes from the Japanese word tonkatsu.

History

The dish was introduced to Korea around 1930s during the period of Japanese rule, but the thick, Japanese-style tonkatsu failed to gain popularity.[1] Don-gaseu became popular in the 1960s, with the spread of gyeong-yangsik—light western food—restaurants.[2] The dish, although called by the Japanese-derived name don-gaseu, followed Western pork cutlet recipes such as those of the Austrian Schnitzel—thinned by pounding before being breaded and deep-fried.[2] It was not sliced, and served with bread. Western-style appetizer soup was served before the dish. Don-gaseu developed into two distinct varieties. In 1977, gyeong-yangsik-style don-gaseu with thin meat became a popular menu in gisa-sikdang—drivers' restaurant, similar to transport café, for taxi drivers—with the addition of chili peppers and kimchi as an accompaniment.[3] As gyeong-yangsik restaurants nearly disappeared, this style of don-gaseu is now commonly served in drivers' restaurants and bunsik-jip (snack restaurants).[2] A second style of don-gaseu, with thicker meat and served sliced following the Japanese method, was made popular in 1983 by a restaurant called Myeongdong Dongaseu.[1] This style of don-gaseu is now commonly served in authentic Japanese restaurants.

Preparation and serving

Don-gaseu served with chili peppers, ssamjang, and kimchi

Korean don-gaseu is different from Japanese tonkatsu in that it is thinner and often served unsliced, thus eaten with a knife and fork, not chopsticks, and is served with demi-glace on top of the fried meat (or in case of fish cutlet, tartar sauce on the fried fish).[2] Common accompaniments include shredded cabbage sprinkled with ketchup-mayonnaise mixture, baked beans, macaroni salad, sweet corn, and danmuji (yellow pickled radish). Green chili peppers and doenjang (soybean paste) or ssamjang (wrap sauce) for dipping the chili peppers, baechu-kimchi (cabbage kimchi) or kkakdugi (radish kimchi), and rice with Korean or Japanese style soup can be served with the don-gaseu plate.[3] Alternatively, bread can replace rice, in which case Western-style soup is served before the main plate as an appetizer.[2]

Variations

Saengseon-gaseu (fish cutlet)
  • Saengseon-gaseu (생선가스), a fish cutlet similar to don-gaseu, is served with tartar sauce, instead of demi-glace.
