Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Season the 2 pork cutlets with salt and pepper. Dredge each in 0.25 cup flour, dip in 1 beaten egg, then press into 1 cup panko until fully coated.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 0.25 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry the cutlets until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  3. Step 3

    Slice the 2 cups cabbage into thin shreds. Serve the cutlets sliced, alongside the 2 cups rice and cabbage. Drizzle with tonkatsu sauce and mayonnaise if desired.
