Ingredients:
- 4 slices pork loin or tenderloin, about 1/2 inch (1.5 cm)
thick and 4-6 ounces (115-180g)
- ground black pepper
- salt
- flour
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 cups fresh or dried bread crumbs
- oil
- cabbage, shredded
- commercially prepared tonkatsu sauce, or a combination of
the follwing mixed to taste:
-
- ketchup
- Worcestershire sauce
- dark soy sauce
- prepared mustard
- sake
Procedure:
Slash the fat rim of one side of the loin cutlet to
keep meat from curling when deep-fried.
Add some salt and then grind pepper over each
sides.
Dredge lightly in flour.
Dip into beaten egg and then press into breadcrumbs.
To deep-fry: Bring about 3 inches (8 cm) of oil to about 350°
F/175° C in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep-fryer.
Lay 1 or 2 cutlets in the hot oil.
Deep-fry till golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes, turning them in
the oil once or twice.
Skim the oil periodically.
Briefly drain cutlets on absorbent paper.
Cut pork crosswise at 3/4-inch (2cm) intervals into bite-sized
slices that are easy to manage with chopsticks.
If you plan on eating tonkatsu with knife and fork, do not bother
to cut it at this point.
Serve: Against a generous half-plateful of shredded cabbage,
arrange cutlet slices as if cutlet was whole. Garnish with a
wedge of lemon, if desired. The sauce may be poured from a small
ewer into a small bowl to be used as a dip, or it may be poured
over the cutlet and cabbage.
