Step 1
Pound the 2 pork cutlets to 1/2-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge each in 1/2 cup flour, dip in 1 beaten egg, then press into 1 cup panko to coat evenly.
Step 2
Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet over medium-high. Fry the cutlets until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Step 3
Slice the cutlets into strips. Divide the 2 cups cooked rice between two bowls. Top with the sliced pork, drizzle with 1/4 cup tonkatsu sauce, and add shredded cabbage if desired.
Step 4
Serve immediately with a side of miso soup or pickled vegetables if you have them.
