Tonkatsu (deep fried pork)

Step 1

Make small cuts all over the pork chops with the tip of a knife. Pound the meat with a meat tenderizer. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the meat.

Step 2

Coat the meat with flour, dip in egg, and then cover with bread crumbs.

Step 3

Heat deep frying oil to 350 F, and deep fry the crumb-covered meat. You can check the temperature by dropping a bread crumb in the oil. If it comes up to the oil surface right after it's dropped, it's ready.

Step 4

Fry until the color turns golden brown and the meat floats in the oil, about 5-8 minutes, turning once or twice.

Step 5

Set the meat on a cooling rack for a minute. Cut into 5-6 pieces. Drizzle Tonkatsu Sauce over if you like.
