“GET SOME PORK ON YOUR FORK”

Ton = Pork, Katsu = Deep fried

For tonight’s dinner we have tonkatsu, my first time making it too, and we were both happy with the results.

4 pork chops
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 egg (beaten)
1 tbsp water
1 cup Japanese bread crumbs
Canola oil for frying

1. Trim fat off pork, cut into bite sized pieces. Flatten pork with mallet to tenderize meat. Then add salt and pepper on pork.
2. Dip the pork in beaten egg with water and roll the pork in the bread crumbs until evenly coated.
3. Fry pork in hot oil until golden brown, drain on paper towel.
