Number Of Ingredients 14

4 6-ounce pieces boneless pork loin
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for frying
1 small yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 cups Lucinda's Dashi
1/3 cup mirin
1/3 cup soy sauce
5 scallions, sliced into 1-inch pieces
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
Garnishes: lemon wedges and toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Pound pork slices to 1/2-inch thickness and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Place flour, eggs, and panko flakes in three separate pie plates or wide, shallow bowls. Dredge pork slices in flour, then eggs, then panko flakes, and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet lined with a cooling rack. Let stand at least 10 minutes.
  • Heat 1 1/2 inches oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot to 360 degrees.
  • While oil heats make sauce: In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. When oil shimmers, add onion and saute until translucent, 3 minutes. Add dashi, mirin, soy sauce, and scallions and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in eggs.
  • Fry pork in two batches, turning a few times, until golden brown, 3-4 minutes per batch. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Slice pork into 1-inch pieces and serve with Japanese cabbage, a bowl of cooked short-grain rice and sauce, and garnishes.

The tonkatsu was a bit dry, but the sauce helped to make it more moist.
