The Best Tonkatsu (Japanese Pork Cutlet) #tonkatsu #porkrecipes

These Japanese style pork cutlets come together in just 20 minutes, or less!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 pound boneless pork chops
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 cup Panko* bread crumbs
• Cooked rice, for serving
• Tonkatsu sauce, for serving

Instructions:

1. Heat corn oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
2. Season pork chops with salt and pepper, to taste. Working one at a time, dredge pork chops in flour, dip into egg, then dredge in Panko crumbs, pressing to coat.
3. Working in batches, add pork chops to the skillet, 2 or 3 at a time, and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
4. Serve immediately with rice and tonkatsu sauce, if desired.

NOTES:

• *Panko is a Japanese-style bread crumb and can be found in the Asian section of your local grocery store.
