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
flour
panko bread crumbs (Japanese bread crumbs)
salt, pepper, garlic powder to season meat
oil for frying
tonkatsu sauce
tempura net (optional)

Makes 4 pork cutlets

Cooking Instructions:

Step 1: Tenderize the pork with a mallet. Lightly season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2: In a small mixing bowl, beat one large egg. Add 1 1/2 tablespoon of flour and 1 tablespoon of water and mix well with beaten egg. Lightly coat both sides of the meat with flour. 

Step 3: Dip the flour coated meat into the egg mixture. Then coat with panko bread crumbs.

Step 4: Deep Fry in hot oil for 2 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 5: Serve with rice or salad and tonkatsu sauce.
