Ingredients
- 4 pork chops 3/4 inch thick - use pork loin or pork shoulder, boneless fillets
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 cup flour
- 2 egg beaten, large
- 2 cups panko bread crumbs
- vegetable oil for frying
- 1 green cabbage sliced or shredded, small
- tonkatsu sauce for serving, sliced
- green onion for serving, sliced
Instructions
- Pound the pork cutlets with a kitchen mallet to flatten to 1/2 inch thickness. Season them with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Heat at least 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large wide pot over medium-high heat to 350 degrees If you are unable to measure the temperature, add a droplet of flour to the oil. It is ready when the flour sizzles. Do NOT bring the oil to a boil.
- Set up your breading station with 3 bowls in a row. Add the flour to the first bowl, the beaten eggs to the second bowl, and the panko bread crumbs to the third bowl.
- Dip each pork cutlet first into the flour, then into the egg wash, then into the panko. Be sure to get them nicely coated and leave no bare spots.
- Set the breaded pork cutlets into the hot oil and fry them for about 4-5 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
- Remove the fried pork and drain on a paper towel lined plate.
- Slice the pork into strips and serve with sliced cabbage and tonkatsu sauce. Garnish with green onion.
