Description

Crispy, golden-brown butterfly pork cutlet served over fluffy white rice, generously topped with a rich, savory brown sauce for a satisfying and hearty meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 large pork chop, butterflied and pounded thin
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1/2 cup tonkatsu or brown sauce

Instructions

  1. Season the butterflied pork chop with salt and pepper.
  2. Dredge pork in flour, dip in beaten egg, then coat evenly with panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry pork cutlet until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  4. Slice the tonkatsu and serve over a bed of hot cooked white rice.
  5. Drizzle generously with tonkatsu or brown sauce before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, let the breaded pork rest for a few minutes before frying.
  • Serve with shredded cabbage or pickles on the side for a traditional touch.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven for best results.
