Ingredients

Main Ingredients

4 pieces boneless pork chops 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 freshly ground
2 cups cooked white rice hot
1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying

Tonkatsu Sauce

1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon mirin
1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

1 Prepare the tonkatsu sauce by mixing ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
2 Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
3 Dredge each pork chop in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
4 Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded pork chops.
5 Fry the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6 Slice the pork cutlets into strips and serve over a bed of hot cooked rice.
7 Drizzle with tonkatsu sauce and serve immediately.
