I don't know where I got this recipe - it was in my files without citing a source. Other recipes on-line call it Tonkatsu.

Anyway, it's really good, and makes four skinny pork chops go a LONG way!

I doctored up the sauce a bit with some mirin and hoisin. Great dipping!

Served with stir-fried cabbage (recipe below) and white rice.

Pork Katsu

4 boneless pork loin chops
Salt and pepper
Flour (about 1/4 C)
1 Egg, beaten
1 1/2 C panko

Katsu Sauce
1/4 C ketchup
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp brown sugar or mirin
1 tsp Dijon mustard

I had bone-in loin chops and deboned the chops myself and keep the bones for soup.


Pound each cutlet with a meat mallet until 1/4 in thick.


Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chop then dredge the pork cutlet inflour and shake off the excess. Then coat the chop in beaten egg and bread withpanko. Repeat for each cutlet.

Heat 1/4 in of oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Place the pork chops inthe hot oil and fry each side until golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes perside. Drain on paper towel and pat off the excess oil.

Cut into bite size pieces before serving. Serve with rice and katsu sauce(optional: miso soup and cabbage)

Serves 4.
