Tonkatsu


Tonkatsu (豚カツとんかつ or トンカツ, pork cutlet), is a Japanese food made of cutlet. It consists of a breadeddeep-fried pork cutlet one to two centimeters thick and sliced into bite-sized pieces, generally served with shredded cabbage and/or miso soup. Either a pork fillet (ヒレ, hire) or pork loin (ロース, rōsu) cut may be used; the meat is usually salted, peppered, dredged lightly in flour, dipped into beaten egg and then coated withpanko (bread crumbs) before being deep fried.[1] ( This was from wikipedia)

I have always loved this delicious pork dish and this is my attempt to cook it at home.
