A crispy Japanese-style pork cutlet served over rice with homemade tonkatsu sauce.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pork loin chops
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • Green scallions, sliced for garnish
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • For sauce:
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Prepare three shallow bowls with flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs.
  2. Dredge each pork chop in flour, then egg, then panko, pressing to adhere.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry pork until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  4. Mix ketchup, soy sauce, Worcestershire, honey, and mustard in a bowl to make the sauce.
  5. Assemble the bowls by placing cooked rice in each, topping with sliced katsu, drizzling with tonkatsu sauce, and garnishing with scallions and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Ensure oil is hot enough for crispy coating.
  • You can prepare the sauce in advance for extra flavor.
  • Serve immediately for best crunch.
