Tonkatsu Pork

Ingredients

• 4 pork chops
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup breadcrumbs
• 2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Steps

1. Trim excess fat from pork chops, then pound each chop between parchment paper to 1cm thickness. Reshape the meat with your hands.
2. Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper.
3. Dredge each pork chop first in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in egg, and finally coat thoroughly in breadcrumbs.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan to 350F (180C), ensuring it's about 2cm deep.
5. Fry two pork chops at a time for 1 minute 30 seconds per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and rest on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining chops.
6. While pork rests, whisk together ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, oyster sauce, and granulated sugar for the tonkatsu sauce. Add a splash of water if needed to thin.
7. Slice the rested tonkatsu into strips and serve immediately, drizzled with the homemade sauce.
