Tonkatsu (Japanese Pork Cutlet)
By: Charmie777
Jul 25, 2005
This is my absolute favorite Japanese food. (What's not to like? It's fried!) I was introduced to this by Japanese exchange students I was hosting. The tonkatsu sauce is purchased at most grocery stores in the Asian foods section. Serve on a bed of shredded cabbage, for presentation. Serve with TONKATSU Sauce (the database won't let me add this as an ingredient).
SERVES 4
Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops, 1/2 inch thick (I have also used boneless chicken breasts)
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 beaten egg
- 1/2 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
- vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
1
Pound pork to 1/4-inch thickness.2
Coat with flour, then dip into egg, and finally coat thoroughly with Panko.3
Deep fry in 1 inch vegetable oil, heated to 350º, 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.4
Serve on bed of shredded cabbage, for presentation.5
Serve with Tonkatsu sauce.6
NOTE: If you can't find Panko, you may use crushed corn flakes.

Fantastic pork recipe and easy, too. These only took about 20 min. from prep to finish for me. I didn't have the tonkatsu sauce because I didn't read through all the instructions - only the ingredient list - before going to the store. I had never heard of tonkatsu sauce so didn't know the title meant anything other than a name...oops! Luckily, I had some sweet and sour dipping sauce in my fridge and used that. It worked very well. The directions were great. I did use about double the amt. of flour and about 3/4 cup of panko to coat my 4 pork chops. My whole family loved this recipe. Thank you!

I used slightly more oil than 1 inch so my cutlets were completely submerged and only took a total of 4 minutes. If you can't find Tonkatsu sauce, you can use a mixture of Worcestershire Sauce and tomato ketchup with a little soy sauce to make a sort of japanese steak sauce.

Yum! I happened across a box of panko bread crumbs at the store today, and wanted to try a new recipe with them. This was so easy to make, and delicious too. I threw some garlic salt in the flour mixture to add a bit of extra flavor. I am usually awful at keeping crumbs on, but these were perfect. Thanks for sharing!
