Tonkatsu is a popular Asian breaded pork chop recipe that is usually consumed for lunch. This dish is simple and quick to prepare.
Since Tonkatsu is coated with Panko bread crumbs (Japanese bread crumbs), it is important to control the heat while frying the pork so that the bread crumbs do not brown soon while the meat is still uncooked. I usually start with high heat until the oil gets hot and then lower it as I put the pork chop in. This will brown the coating gradually while cooking the pork in the right pace.
Don’t forget to prepare some shredded cabbage. Try to slice the cabbage as thin as you can and then soak it in cold water for 10 minutes. Drain the water before serving the cabbage with the fried pork. One more thing, always serve this with Tonkatsu sauce. The sauce adds more life to this dish. Happy cooking!
