Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat pork cutlets dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Set up three shallow bowls: flour, beaten egg, panko.

  2. Step 2

    Coat each cutlet in flour, then egg, then panko, pressing gently so breadcrumbs stick.

  3. Step 3

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Fry pork cutlets 3-4 minutes per side until deep golden brown and crispy.

  5. Step 5

    Toss shredded cabbage with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of vinegar; divide between two plates.

  6. Step 6

    Plate warm rice, crispy cutlet, tomato wedges, and potato salad. Drizzle cutlet with karashi mustard and tonkatsu sauce.

Tools you’ll need

  • large 10–12 inch skillet
