Tonkatsu (Japanese Pork Cutlet)

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).

    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!
