Categories     Pork     Kid-Friendly     Deep-Fry     Bon Appétit     Small Plates

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Tonkatsu sauce:
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Pork:
1 pound boneless pork loin with 1/4"-thick fat cap
2 large eggs, beaten to blend
3 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt
8 fresh shiso leaves (optional)
4 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Tonkatsu Sauce:
  • Mix ketchup and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl.
  • Do Ahead
  • Sauce can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill.
  • Pork:
  • Freeze pork loin until firm around edges, about 1 hour. Slice pork 1/8" thick (or as thinly as you can). Place slices between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound until as thin as possible without tearing meat.
  • Place eggs, panko, and flour in separate shallow bowls. Divide pork into 4 portions (you should have at least 4 slices per portion but may have more depending on how thinly you slice the meat). Working with 1 portion, season pork slices lightly on both sides with salt and stack, placing 2 shiso leaves, if desired, between any 2 slices. Keeping stack intact, dredge in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in eggs, letting excess drip off, then coat in panko, shaking off excess. Set on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and repeat with remaining shiso leaves and stacks of pork.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook 2 stacks of pork until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer back to wire rack. Wipe out skillet and repeat with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 2 stacks of pork. Serve pork with tonkatsu sauce.

TONKATSU (FRIED PORK CUTLET WITH SPICY SAUCE)



Tonkatsu (Fried Pork Cutlet With Spicy Sauce) image

Another take on pork tonkatsu, this one with a recipe for the sauce, in case you don't have access to Bulldog Sauce. This one is from Susan Fuller Slack's "Japanese Cooking". Restaurants in Japan that specialize in tonkatsu are very popular. A serrated bread knife is the easiest way to shred the cabbage. If you don't care for raw cabbage, it can be lightly stir fried before mounding on plates.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon mirin
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
1 garlic clove, minced
1 lb pork tenderloin or 1 lb pork loin, sliced 1/2 inch thick
salt, pepper to taste
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup panko breadcrumbs, more if needed
6 cups peanut oil
1/2 medium cabbage, thinly shredded (green, red, or a mixture)
tomatoes, wedges (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Combine ingredients for Spicy Dipping Sauce and set aside, covered, for 30 minutes for flavors to develop.
  • Lightly pound the pork slices until slightly flattened. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Coat lightly with flour.
  • Combine the egg and milk in a shallow pan. Place panko in a shallow pan. Dip pork slices in egg mixture, then coat both sides of pork slices with panko and set aside on a platter.
  • In a wok or shallow heavy saucepan, heat the oil to 360 degrees, or until a 1-inch cube of bread turn golden brown in 60 seconds. Fry, 2 or 3 slices at a time, 6 to 8 minutes or until golden brown and done inside. Turn once or twice for even browning. Drain cooked cutlets on paqper towels and keep warm in a 150 degree oven.
  • Place a pile of shredded raw cabbage on each serving plate. Slice cooked pork piece into 1/2-inch strips, keeping pieces in original shape. Place a sliced cutlet on top of each portion of shredded cabbage, arranging pork in its original shape, as if it had not been sliced. Serve with Spicy Dipping Sauce.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect tonkatsu sauce, use a combination of Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, and sugar.
  • Use a medium-sized saucepan to make the sauce so that it doesn't boil over.
  • Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  • Once the sauce has thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly before using.
  • Use tonkatsu sauce as a dipping sauce for fried pork cutlets, or as a sauce for stir-fried dishes, noodles, or rice.

Conclusion:

Tonkatsu sauce is a versatile and flavorful sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy-to-make sauce, give tonkatsu sauce a try!
