Step 1
Cook rice while you prep. Pat pork dry, season with salt and pepper, then dredge in panko until fully coated.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear pork 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Pour off excess oil. Add dashi, soy sauce, mirin, and onion to the pan. Bring to a simmer.
Step 4
Slice pork into strips and nestle back into the broth. Simmer 2 minutes, then turn heat to low.
Step 5
Beat eggs lightly. Slowly pour in a thin stream while gently stirring the broth until ribbons form, ~30 seconds.
Step 6
Divide rice between bowls. Ladle pork, egg ribbons, and broth over the top. Serve hot.
