Method
Tonkatsu
- 1
Prepare the pork
Pat the pork loin chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- 2
Bread the pork
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs. Dredge each pork chop in flour, dip in eggs, and coat with panko, pressing gently to adhere.

Fry the pork
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded pork chops and fry for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Prepare the dashi
