A Straightforward Recipe for Tonkatsu
- 1 slice Pork loin cutlet
- 1 dash Pepper
- 1 enough to immerse the pork Vegetable oil
- 100 grams Flour (cake flour)
- 1 egg or less Egg
- 100 grams Panko
- 2 tbsp Ketchup
- 100 ml Japanese Worcestershire-style sauce
- Lay the pork cutlet on a cutting board, and score the surface with a knife.
- Make the score pretty deep, almost cutting through the meat (This makes the cutlets cook through faster.)
- Bash the cutlet with the back of your knife evenly.
- Season with pepper on both sides.
- Make things ready to bread the cutlet.
- Arrange the flour, beaten egg, and panko in that order.
- Coat the cutlet evenly with flour, pressing it onto the surface.
- Immerse the cutlet in the beaten egg so that the flour absorbs its moisture.
- Coat with as much panko as you want.
- Put vegetable oil in a pan and heat over high heat.
- When you drop panko, it should sizzle and make crackling sounds.
- Drop in the breaded pork in slowly.
- Be careful not to burn yourself.
- Turn over occasionally as it cooks.
- When the surface has turned a deep golden brown, take it out and drain off excess oil on paper towels lined on a cutting board.
- If there's no redness when you cut through the meat, it's done.
- I just mixed ketchup and Japanese style Worcestershire sauce for a cheap sauce.
- It should be black, not red - that's the right ratio.
