There's nothing much to chicken katsu. In Hawaii, it's typically a
boneless, skinless, chicken thigh that's breaded with panko and fried.
It's such a simple, sublime, thing. On the mainland, they're more likely
to katsu a chicken breast. In the UK, you'd probably like it sitting in
a puddle of curry sauce. You'd think you've died and gone to heaven!

Shoyu pork is a famous Okinawain dish. Typically, it's made with pork
belly. The pork belly is boiled in a shoyu sugar sauce. That stuff would
taste just great rolled up in some hamburger.
