4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 Five-oz slices pork loin or tenderloin, each about 1/2\" thick
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Flour for dredging
2 Eggs; lightly beaten
2 cups Panko; (bread crumbs)
Vegetable oil for pan frying
Shredded Napa cabbage; for serving
Lemon wedges; for garnish
Tonkatsu sauce; for dipping

Directions

No recipe provided for tonkatsu sauce, purchase at oriental market - HB Slash the fat rimming one side of the loin cutlet to keep the meat from curling when deepfried. Pound to flatten to about 1/4inch. Salt and pepper both sides of each cutlet. Dredge each in flour, then dip into beaten eggs and press into bread crumbs to coat both sides.

Heat a large skillet with about 1/2inch of oil until hot. Lay 1 or 2 cutlets in the hot oil. Deepfry until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes, turning them once or twice. Drain the cutlets on paper towels and cut the pork into bitesize strips that can be eaten with chopsticks.

Arrange the pork on a platter lined with the shredded cabbage, and garnish with lemon wedges. Serve the sauce on the side for dipping, or pour it over the pork and cabbage.

Yield: 4 servings

Variation: TURKEY TONKATSU Prepare the recipe for Pork Tonkatsu, using 4 turkey cutlets, each about 1/2inch thick, in place of the pork loin.
