Ingredients
Scale
4 pieces of pork cutlets, about 150 grams each
1 cup of panko breadcrumbs
½ cup of all-purpose flour
1 large egg, beaten
Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetable oil for frying
2 cups of cooked white rice
½ cup of tonkatsu sauce
Instructions
Prepare the pork: Start by placing your pork cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound them gently with a meat mallet until they’re about ½ inch thick. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Bread the cutlets: Set up a dredging station: one plate with flour, one bowl with beaten egg, and one plate with panko breadcrumbs. Coat a cutlet with flour, dip it in the beaten egg, then roll it in the panko until completely coated.
Fry it up: In a large skillet, heat about ¼ inch of vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add your breaded cutlets and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Prepare the rice: Cook your rice according to package instructions.
Plate it up: Place a mound of rice in a bowl, add your crispy katsu cutlet on top, and drizzle with tonkatsu sauce. Add optional toppings like cabbage, sesame seeds, or green onions.
Notes
Delight in the crispy texture of panko-crusted pork cutlets served over fluffy rice, drizzled with flavorful tonkatsu sauce. Perfect for cozy dinners!
