Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

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

  2. 2

    Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chops

    Dredge each pork chop in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  5. 5

    Fry the Katsu

    Carefully add the breaded pork chops to the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the katsu and serve with shredded cabbage and drizzle with tonkatsu sauce.
