Tonkatsu
Tonkatsu
Tonkatsu is a popular Japanese dish that consists of breaded and deep-fried pork cutlets. The pork is typically coated in panko breadcrumbs and then fried until crispy and golden brown. It’s often served with a tangy tonkatsu sauce, which is made from a combination of Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and other seasonings. Tonkatsu is commonly enjoyed with a side of shredded cabbage and steamed rice.
Ingredients
- 4 pork loin chops boneless (about 1 inch thick)
- Salt and pepper
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Tonkatsu sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Shredded cabbage for serving
- rice streamed, for serving
Instructions
- Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Dip the floured pork chop into the beaten eggs, making sure it is fully coated.
- Press the egg-coated pork chop into the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Fry the breaded pork chops in the hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Remove the cooked Tonkatsu from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Slice the Tonkatsu into strips and serve with tonkatsu sauce, shredded cabbage, and steamed rice.
- Enjoy!
