Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 pound pork chops boneless
  • salt to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
  • black pepper to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg beaten, large
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • rice for serving, cooked
  • tonkatsu sauce for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat corn oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
  2. Season pork chops with salt and pepper, to taste. Working one at a time, dredge pork chops in flour, dip into egg, then dredge in Panko crumbs, pressing to coat.
  3. Working in batches, add pork chops to the skillet, 2 or 3 at a time, and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. Serve immediately with rice and tonkatsu sauce, if desired.

Notes

  • *Panko is a Japanese-style bread crumb and can be found in the Asian section of your local grocery store.
