Elevate your weeknight dinners with this delicious and crispy pork katsu.
Tonkatsu
3 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp soy sauce
Ingredients
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
4 boneless pork loin chops, pounded into 1/4-in. thickness
¾ tsp salt
¼ cup canola oil, divided
¼ green cabbage, thinly sliced, about 4 cups
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Finely chopped green onion, (optional)
Instructions
Tonkatsu: Stir ketchup with Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce in a small bowl.
Place flour in a shallow bowl. Whisk eggs in a second shallow bowl. Place panko in a third shallow bowl.
Sprinkle pork with salt. Season with pepper. Dredge 1 chop in flour, then shake off excess. Dip into eggs, then coat in panko, pressing to adhere. Transfer to a baking rack. Repeat with remaining chops.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan set over medium-high. Add 2 tbsp oil. When hot, add two chops (do not crowd pan.) Cook, flipping halfway, until golden brown, 3 to 4 min per side. Wipe pan clean, then repeat with remaining 2 tbsp oil and chops.
Serve pork katsu with sliced cabbage and lemon wedges. Sprinkle with green onion. Drizzle with tonkatsu sauce.
