Step 1
Pat pork cutlets dry and pound each to an even 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet.
Step 2
Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten egg, one with panko. Season pork with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Coat each cutlet in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg, then press into panko until both sides are covered.
Step 4
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Fry cutlets 2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Step 5
Toss shredded cabbage and mixed vegetables with a pinch of salt. Arrange on a plate alongside the cutlet.
Step 6
Drizzle tonkatsu sauce over the cutlet. Serve immediately with remaining sauce on the side.
