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