Directions

Step 1

Prepare the pork by gently pounding each piece to flatten. Season with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Set up a dredging station with three bowls: flour, beaten eggs, and bread crumbs.

Step 3

Coat each pork piece first in flour, then dip into egg, and finally press into bread crumbs until fully covered.

Step 4

Let the breaded cutlets rest on a wire rack for 10 minutes to help the coating adhere.

Step 5

In a deep pan, heat oil to 170°C. Fry the pork cutlets for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.

Step 6

Remove from oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 7

Thinly shred the cabbage and rinse with cold water. Drain thoroughly and chill until serving.

Step 8

Cook the rice according to package instructions and keep warm.

Step 9

Prepare a quick dipping sauce by mixing soy sauce and sesame seeds. Optionally, serve with traditional tonkatsu sauce.

Step 10

Plate the Tonkatsu with shredded cabbage, a portion of rice, and dipping sauce on the side. Serve hot.
