Tonkatsu is my favorite home-cooked Japanese food! It’s a breaded, deep-fried pork cutlet. It’s quick and easy to make and there are many ways to serve it. You can serve it with rice, miso soup, salad, or even in a sandwich! I like to use a tempura net to keep the tonkatsu nice and crisp. Don’t forget to serve it with tonkatsu sauce!
Ingredients:
4 boneless pork chops
1 large beaten egg
1 tablespoon water

tonkatsu sauce

Makes 4 pork cutlets
Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: Tenderize the pork with a mallet. Lightly season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
