Ingredients
Instructions
Pat the pork cutlets dry with paper towels. Generously season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Place all-purpose flour in one shallow dish, beaten egg in another, and panko breadcrumbs in a third.
Dredge each pork cutlet in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip into the egg, then coat thoroughly with panko.
In a deep skillet, heat about 1½ inches of vegetable or canola oil to 340–350°F (170–175°C).
Carefully add the breaded pork to the hot oil. Fry for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked cutlets to a wire rack or paper towels, allowing them to rest for 2–3 minutes.
Slice the cutlets into strips and serve with shredded cabbage, fluffy rice, lemon wedges, and tonkatsu sauce.
