Description

Ingredients

  • Tonkatsu Sauce Ingredients (for homemade):

Instructions

  1. Pound chicken to ½-inch thickness and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Set up a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Coat each cutlet in flour, then dip in egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C).
  5. Fry the cutlets for 3-4 minutes per side (for chicken) or 2-3 minutes per side (for pork) until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  6. If making homemade tonkatsu sauce, mix ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and sugar in a small bowl. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  7. Assemble bowls by adding cooked rice, sliced cutlets, and a generous drizzle of tonkatsu sauce. Garnish with parsley or green onions, if desired. Serve immediately.
