Description
A comforting and delicious meal featuring crispy katsu served over rice with homemade tonkatsu sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless pork loin chops (about 1 lb)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup short-grain white rice
- 1/4 cup tonkatsu sauce
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 green onions (chopped)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Rinse the rice under cold water until clear. Cook according to package instructions.
- Pound the pork chops between plastic wrap until about half an inch thick.
- Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten egg, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each chop in flour, dip in egg, then coat evenly with panko.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry each chop for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown; drain on paper towels.
- Assemble bowls: spoon rice into bowls, slice katsu on top, drizzle with tonkatsu sauce, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying for a crispy texture. Marinate the pork chops for extra flavor if desired.
