- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour, divided
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 ½ cups Panko bread crumbs
- oil for frying
Katsu Sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons sugar, plus more to taste if needed
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

- Cut slits into the edges of each of the 2 boneless skinless pork loin chops to keep them from curling up as they cook. Use a meat tenderizer and flatten them until they are about 1 inch thick.
- Dredge each pork loin in the flour mixture. Next, coat them in the eggs, allowing any excess eggs to drip off before coating them in the 1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs. Coat the pork thoroughly in bread crumbs and set aside.
- Heat about an inch of Oil for frying in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should sizzle when a toothpick is inserted into it.
- Place the breaded pork into the hot oil and fry the pork for about 5-6 minutes on each side. The pork should be golden brown and be cooked through.
- Remove the cooked pork from the oil and place it on a paper towel lined plate to let any excess oil run off.
- Make the katsu sauce by whisking together 1/4 cup ketchup, 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/8 teaspoon onion powder in a small bowl.
- Pour the katsu sauce over the tonkatsu and serve on a bed of cabbage or rice. Enjoy!
