Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Season the pork loin pieces with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the seasoning.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Bread the Pork

    Dredge each seasoned pork piece in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  2. 4

    Fry the Pork

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded pork pieces and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 5

    Drain the Pork

    Remove the fried pork from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 6

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine the tonkatsu sauce, mayonnaise, and sesame seeds. Mix until well blended.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the fried katsu over a bed of cooked rice and shredded cabbage. Drizzle the tonkatsu sauce mixture over the top.
