Tonkatsu is one of the most beloved “western style” Japanese foods in Japan. It is pork chop breaded with flour, egg, and Panko (bread crumbs), then deep fried. It’s not the healthiest food but rather comfort food.
Ingredients needed:
For the Tonkatsu
- 1-2 eggs
- 1 cup panko or bread crumbs
- oil for deep frying
- 2 pork loin chops (about 1" thick, no bones)
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- salt
- pepper
For the Sauce
- Soy sauce
- Ketchup
For the Tonkatsu:
Prepare all the ingredients.
Using the tip of the knife, make small cuts all over the pork.
Sprinkle some salt and pepper.
Flour the pork
Dip in the beaten egg and then in the bread crumbs.
Fry the breaded pork until it turns golden brown in the pan.
Cut it into 5-6 pieces.
For the Sauce:
You need a Worcestershire Sauce for this dish but I couldn't find one so I looked up in the internet to look for substitutes and here are the list.
