- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Dredge/Fry

- vegetable oil for frying

Instructions
- Roughly tenderize the pork cutlets using the back of a kitchen knife. Make a slit through the outer fat (if any or using pork chops) every inch around pork so they don't curl when frying. Season with a pinch of salt and white pepper.
- In a bowl whisk together the batter ingredients and set up dredging station with panko in another bowl or tray.
- Dip each piece of pork in the batter, shaking off extra and then coat both sides in panko. Repeat with remaining pork.
- In a deep skillet add enough vegetable oil to fill by 1-inch. Heat to 350°F.
- Fry each cutlet for 3-4 minutes or until internal temperature registers 145°F and tonkatsu is a deep golden brown. Serve with tonkatsu sauce.
