  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless pork loin chops
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • For the Tonkatsu Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Dredge each chop in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded pork until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  4. Prepare bowls with jasmine rice, sliced fried pork cutlet, shredded cabbage, and sliced green onions.
