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)

Instructions
- Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
