Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces pork loin chops pounded to 1/2 inch thick
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour sifted
  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying

Cabbage Slaw

  • 2 cups cabbage shredded
  • 1 medium carrot julienned
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Instructions

  1. 1 Prepare the pork by seasoning both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. 2 Set up a dredging station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
  3. 3 Coat each pork chop in flour, shaking off any excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally press into the panko breadcrumbs until thoroughly coated.
  4. 4 Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. 5 Fry each pork chop for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  6. 6 For the cabbage slaw, combine cabbage and carrot in a bowl.
  7. 7 In a separate small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and sesame oil until the sugar dissolves.
  8. 8 Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot, and toss to combine well.
  9. 9 Serve the tonkatsu hot with a side of cabbage slaw.
