Instructions
- Pat dry the pork loins with clean paper towel. Then spread cornstarch in a large shallow bowl, beaten eggs into a second bowl and panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl. Evenly dredge each slice of pork into the cornstarch shaking off any excess, then into the beaten eggs and lastly panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pan on medium heat. Shallow fry the coated pork loins into the hot oil in small batches on both sides until golden brown. Cooked pork has an internal temperature of 145 F with a digital instant read thermometer. Remove and transfer fried pork onto a wire rack or paper towel lined plate to remove excess oil.
- Lay out a large sheet of plastic wrap (about 12 x 15 inches) onto a large cutting board. Then place a sheet of nori rough side up on top of the plastic wrap. Into the center of the nori, add ⅓ cup of warm cooked sushi rice and shape it into a rectangle.
- Evenly sprinkle salt on top of the rice. Squeeze 1 tablespoon tonkatsu sauce and 1 tablespoon Japanese mayo on top of the rice. Then place 6 pieces of thinly sliced cucumbers on top of the sauce, followed by pork katsu.
- Tightly wrap the corners of the nori sheet around the fillings to create a parcel. Then tightly wrap the plastic wrap around the onigirazu.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the onigirazu into half. Repeat the above process to make 5 more onigirazu sandwiches. Enjoy fresh!
