    Prepare the Pork

    Season the pork loin cutlets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

    Coat the Pork

    Dredge each cutlet in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and then coat with panko breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Fry the Cutlets

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the cutlets until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

    In a saucepan, combine dashi stock, soy sauce, mirin, and sliced onions. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until onions are soft.

    In a bowl, place a serving of cooked rice. Slice the fried cutlets and arrange on top of the rice. Pour the sauce and onions over the pork.
