A crispy Japanese fried pork cutlet served with a savory sauce, showcasing the flavors of soy, mirin, and ginger.

chopped
Start by flattening the pork chops to about 0.5 inch thickness using a meat mallet. This helps them cook evenly.
In a shallow bowl, mix together 0.5 cup of panko breadcrumbs, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. In another bowl, beat 2 large eggs.
Coat each pork chop in flour, then dip in the beaten egg, and finally coat with the panko mixture, pressing gently to ensure it adheres.
Heat 0.5 cup of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the pork from the skillet and let it drain on paper towels. Slice the tonkatsu into strips and serve with a drizzle of soy sauce and a sprinkle of chopped scallions.
