Tonkatsu

Tonkatsu are deep fried pork cutlets. Tonkatsu is usually served with shredded cabbage or on top of cooked rice (katsudon) or with Japanese style curry rice (katsu kare).

• 4 pork loin chops (about 1" thick, no bones)
• salt
• pepper
• 1/2 cup all purpose flour

Preparation:

• Make small cuts all over pork chops with tip of knife. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of meat.
• Coat the meat with flour, dip in eggs, then cover with bread crumbs.
• Heat deep frying oil to 180 C, and deep fry crumb-covered meat.
• Fry until color turns golden brown and meat floats in the oil, about 5-8 minutes, turning once or twice.
• Set the meat on a cooling rack for a minute. Cut into 5-6 pieces.
