Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pound the 2 pork chops to 1/2 inch thickness, then season both sides with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Set up three shallow dishes: 1/4 cup flour, 1 beaten egg, and 1 cup panko. Dredge each chop in flour, dip in egg, then press into panko to coat evenly.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry the chops until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  4. Step 4

    Slice the cutlets into strips and serve over 2 cups shredded cabbage, drizzled with 1/4 cup tonkatsu sauce. Garnish with sliced green onion if desired.
