    Tonkatsu: Breaded Pork Cutlets

    Copyright, 1999, Cheryl Smith, all rights reserved.

    Ingredients:

    Peanut oil for deep-frying
    2 eggs
    1/8 cup water
    1/2 cup flour for dredging
    6 center-cut pork cutlets, 1/4" cuts
    Salt
    Freshly ground black pepper
    Panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
    Tonka sauce (recipe follows)
    4 cups cooked rice

    Preparation:

    Heat oil to 350 degrees F.

    Slice 6 center-cut pork cutlets into thin 1/4" slices. (Tip: If you keep the chops in the freezer or refrigerator for 20 minutes before cutting, they will slice more easily.)

    In medium-size bowl, mix 2 eggs and 1/8 cup water. Pour 1/2 cup flour into a shallow bowl with salt and pepper to taste. Likewise, put panko in a shallow bowl. Lightly salt and pepper the pieces of pork. Dredge pork in flour, followed by egg wash; then press into panko. Fry in batches until golden brown. Drizzle with tonka sauce.

    Servings: 2

    Ingredients for Tonka Sauce:

    1 cup ketchup
    1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
    2 cups sake
    2 Tbs. ginger
    2 Tbs. garlic
    1/4 cup sugar
    1/4 cup mirin

    Preparation for Tonka Sauce:

    Combine all ingredients in a stainless-steel saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce to a simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, skimming any foam that rises to the top. Chill and refrigerate. This will keep 4 to 6 weeks.

    Servings: 3 cups

    Chef Jamie's Notes: I recommend using a candy thermometer to get the oil to 350 degrees.
