Juicy pork cutlets breaded and fried until golden crispy, served with steamed rice, crunchy cabbage, and homemade tonkatsu sauce.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless pork loin chops
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • For the sauce:
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Dredge each chop in flour, dip into beaten eggs, then coat with panko breadcrumbs.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry pork cutlets until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  3. Mix ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, honey, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl to make the tonkatsu sauce.
  4. Divide cooked rice between bowls, top with shredded cabbage, and sliced pork cutlet. Drizzle with homemade tonkatsu sauce, garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use lean pork for tenderness. Ensure the oil is hot enough for crispy coating.
  • Adjust the sauce ingredients for sweeter or tangier flavor.
