Pork Katsu
Pork Katsu, also known as Tonkatsu, is a crispy, golden-fried pork cutlet that is simple yet incredibly delicious. The pork is coated in panko breadcrumbs, deep-fried until crunchy, and served with a tangy katsu sauce. It has the perfect balance of crispy outside and juicy, tender inside.
Ingredients :
- 2 pork cutlets about ½ inch thick
- ½ cup flour
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Oil for frying
- ½ cup tonkatsu sauce for serving
Directions :
- Pound the pork cutlets to about ¼-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
- Coat each cutlet in flour, shaking off excess.
- Dip in the beaten egg, ensuring full coverage.
- Press into panko breadcrumbs, coating evenly.
- Heat oil in a pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry cutlets for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Remove from oil and drain on a wire rack.
- Slice into strips and serve with tonkatsu sauce, rice, and cabbage.
