Ingredients

  • 3 slice per serving, 4 to 6 slices total Pork roast meat (sliced about 5 mm thick)
  • 1 Cabbage
  • 2 servings Plain steamed rice
  • 2 tbsp Tonkatsu sauce
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Water
  • 1 dash Dashi stock granules (optional)
  • 1 dash of each Salt and pepper
  • 1 For the coating: Flour, beaten egg, panko

Method

  • Wash the cabbage, shred very finely and soak in a bowl of water.
  • Flatten the pork roast slices with the side of you knife and layer two slices (per serving) together.
  • Put the fat side of each slice on opposite sides.
  • Make 2 portions.
  • Season both sides with salt and pepper, coat with the flour, beaten egg and panko and deep fry.
  • While you're frying the cutlets, combine the sauce ingredients marked in a container big enough for the cutlets to fit comfortably and mix.
  • When the cutlets are almost done, microwave the sauce for a minute.
  • Serve rice into bowls, top with drained shredded cabbage, and spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the mixed sauce (taste first).
  • Put the freshly fried cutlets in the container with the sauce from Step 4 and coat both sides with the sauce.
  • Slice into easy to eat pieces, place on top of the cabbage in the bowls and pour the leftover sauce over.
  • For bentos, coat both sides in the sauce.
  • I used this sauce to make a fried egg don (rice bowl).
  • See
  • This a simple rice bowl using store-bought croquettes.
  • The sauce goes well with croquettes too.
  • My husband usually isn't satisfied with just croquettes, so this is a "tonkatsu and croquette bowl."
  • It looks nice if you slice both on the diagonal.
