• 200 grams Pork roast or loin (for tonkatsu)
• 6 tbsp Katakuriko

• 1 Salt and pepper

1. Cut the onions into wedges, and separate the layers.
2. Cut the pork into 5 mm width strips.
3. Mix the onion, pork and A ingredients, and mix well with your hands for at least 3 minutes.
4. It will be watery for the first minute or so.
5. As you continue mixing and kneading, it will become thick as shown here.
6. When it reaches that stage, it's time to deep fry.
7. Slide in bite sized portions of the batter-onion-pork mixture into oil heated to medium temperature, using a wooden spatula or a large spoon.
8. Deep fry for 7-8 minutes over medium heat.
9. When the surface is golden brown and crispy, the fritters are done.
10. If the oil is too hot the fritters will burn so be careful.
