Step 1
Pat pork cutlets dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Set up three shallow bowls: flour, beaten egg, panko.
Step 2
Coat each cutlet in flour, then egg, then panko, pressing gently so breadcrumbs stick.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Fry pork cutlets 3-4 minutes per side until deep golden brown and crispy.
Step 5
Toss shredded cabbage with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of vinegar; divide between two plates.
Step 6
Plate warm rice, crispy cutlet, tomato wedges, and potato salad. Drizzle cutlet with karashi mustard and tonkatsu sauce.
