Instructions
- Place each chop in a plastic bag and pound until they're about ¾" to 1" thick (2cm).
- Use a jaccarding tool or poke with a fork a few times to tenderize the meat.
- Salt on both sides and allow to brine in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
- Set up breading station: place corn starch on one plate, eggs in another, and Japanese panko on a third. Spritz the breadcrumbs with water to moisten.
- Coat each pork chop in corn starch, then egg wash, then the panko. Press to ensure panko sticks.
- Heat oil to 325°F/162°C. Carefully drop chops in oil, flipping after 90 seconds.
- Cook for additional 90 seconds or until internal temp reaches 135°F/58°C and chop is golden brown. Place on wire rack to drain.
- Finely shred some green cabbage. Slice each chop and plate on top of shredded cabbage. Drizzle tonkatsu sauce on top.
Tonkatsu Sauce
