Pork Cutlet (Tonkatsu)  Recipe

Here's the recipe for making delicious Pork Cutlet (Tonkatsu) in English:

Ingredients

• 2-4 slices of pork loin (for Tonkatsu)
• 1 cup of flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup of breadcrumbs
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• Cooking oil (for frying)

Optional Sauce Ingredients

• Store-bought Tonkatsu sauce
• Or make your own with ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, and soy sauce.

Instructions

1. Prepare the pork: Take the pork loin slices and pound them with a meat mallet or the back of a knife to make them thinner and wider. Season the pork with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Prepare the coating: Set up three plates: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
3. Coat the pork: Dredge the seasoned pork slices in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip them into the beaten eggs, ensuring they're fully coated. Then press the pork into the breadcrumbs, making sure they stick well.
4. Fry the pork: Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the pork cutlets on each side until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. (Lower the heat if needed to ensure the pork cooks through without burning the outside.)
5. Drain the oil: Once fried, place the cutlets on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
6. Prepare the sauce: You can serve with store-bought Tonkatsu sauce, or make your own by mixing 3 tablespoons of ketchup, 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Heat the mixture slightly.
7. Serve: Drizzle the sauce over the pork cutlet or serve it on the side for dipping. Enjoy your crispy and delicious Tonkatsu!
