This is one of the classic dishes using the Japanese Tonkatsu sauce and shows that Japanese cuisine isn't all 'fish, rice, sushi and shashimi'.
Ingredients:
2 pork cutlets
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp freshly-ground black pepper
60g flour
1 egg
120g panko bread crumbs (or white breadcrumbs)
olive oil
Method:
Trim the cutlets of any excess fat the coat with the seasoned flour and dip in the lightly-beaten egg. Coat with the breadcrumbs (use white breadcrumbs if you can't find Japanese panko bread). Heat the oil in a frying pan and when almost smoking add the pork. Fry for a few minutes on either side, until the breadcrumbs are crisp and golden. Transfer to a paper towel to drain. Cut the pork into thin strips and serve immediately with shredded cabbage and Tonkatsu sauce.
