Directions

  1. 1

    Remove excess fat from each cutlet. Flatten between two sheets of parchment paper to 0.4 in thickness with a meat tenderizer or rolling pin. Return to original shape.

  2. 2

    Place flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs in three separate bowls. Season the pork, then coat in flour, egg, and finally breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Heat oil in a large frying pan to 2 in deep. Fry at 356°F for 1 min 30 sec per side. Let rest on a wire rack for 5 min. Repeat.

  4. 4

    Prepare the sauce by whisking all ingredients together. Add water if thickened. Slice the tonkatsu and serve with sauce.

💡 Chef's Tip

Don't exceed 356°F for a crispy breading. Resting after cooking is essential to keep the meat juicy.
