Thick-sliced Pork \u200bTonkatsu<\/strong>
\n4 pcs (250g each) pork chop
\n1 pc egg
\n45 g milk
\n50g flour
\n250g breadcrumbs
\n1 pinch salt and pepper<\/p>\n

Tonkatsu sauce:<\/strong>
\n120 ml ketchup
\n30 ml soy sauce
\n30 g sugar
\n8 ml vinegar
\n1 pinch black pepper<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cooking directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. To make the tonkatsu sauce: In a pot over medium heat, combine all ingredients and simmer until thick. Set aside.<\/p>\n

2. Score the fat on one side of the pork with a knife to keep the meat from curling when deep-fried. Repeat on the other side.<\/p>\n

3. Season with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n

4. Put the egg, milk, flour, breadcrumbs in separate bowls for the batter.<\/p>\n

5. Dip the pork in milk, then dredge in flour, making sure to coat them completely. Dust off excess flour. Dip them in the beaten egg, then press into breadcrumbs to coat both sides.<\/p>\n

6. Heat oil in a deep frying pan until it reaches 160 degrees.<\/p>\n

7. Deep-fry until golden brown for about 6 minutes, turning them every two mins.<\/p>\n

8. Drain the pork on paper towels and cut into bite-size strips.<\/p>\n

9. Serve on a plate with the sauce and shredded cabbage.<\/p>\n

Serves 4.<\/p>\n

Tip:<\/strong> Instead of throwing your stale bread into the bin, you can transform it into breadcrumbs, which can be used as breading for chicken, topping for pasta, filling for casseroles, and many more!<\/p>\n
