Ingredients

  • Pork loin – 600g (about 21 oz; boneless pork loin cutlets sliced for tonkatsu)
  • Eggs – 3
  • Flour – 1 T
  • Bread crumbs – as needed (panko works well)
  • (1 T = 15 ml / 0.5 fl oz, 1 t = 5 ml / 0.17 fl oz)

Sauce

  • Salt – to taste
  • Pepper – to taste
  • (1 T = 15 ml / 0.5 fl oz, 1 t = 5 ml / 0.17 fl oz)

How to Make It

  • Season the pork loin cutlets lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt to make the egg wash.
  • Coat both sides of the meat thinly and evenly with flour.
  • Dip the floured cutlets into the egg wash, then coat evenly with bread crumbs.
    Tip.Freezing the cutlets at this stage lets you keep them for about a week, which is really convenient.
  • Heat plenty of oil in a pan over high heat. Once a few bread crumb pieces sizzle and rise right away when dropped in, add the cutlets and fry.
  • Once the outside turns a nice golden brown, take the cutlets out.
