Tonkatsu


Description:
This pork cutlet recipe is a favorite in our home. The girls love the crunchy Japanese breadcrumbs on the soft thin slice of pork. I usually make enough to include for their lunch the next day. :-)

Ingredients:
pork cutlets
flour
2 eggs, beaten
Japanese breadcrumbs
salt.
pepper

For the Tonkatsu sauce, I got this from Chinky's blog:
Mix together
4 tbsp. tomato ketchup
2 tbsp. worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. sugar

Directions:
1. Put flour, egg and Japanese breadcrumbs in three separate wide dishes.
2. Add salt and pepper to the flour and mix well.
3. Dip pork cutlets in flour, making sure to shake off excess.
4. Dip in the egg, then into the breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs onto the meat, making sure that the meat is well coated.
5. Fry over medium-high heat until golden on both side.
7. Slice into 3/4 inch strips and serve with tonkatsu sauce*
