Reheat the ready-made tofu katsu cutlets in the oven or a dry frying pan for 6 minutes until hot through and crisp, then slice.
Combine the kombu dashi, soy sauce, mirin and sugar with the sliced onion in a frying pan and simmer for 4 minutes until the onion softens.
Lay the sliced tofu katsu over the onion, pour the beaten egg over the top, cover, and cook for 2 minutes until the egg is softly set.
Slide each cutlet and its egg onto a bowl of rice and scatter with sliced spring onion.
