Tonkatsu とんかつ (fried pork cutlet)

this is what the kewpie looks like.

I learned how to make this dish in my Japanese class. It is so good, one of my favorite Japanese dishes. This is great with a cold glass of mugichia tea (roasted barley tea). You top it with kewpie (sweet mayonnaise) and tonkatsu sauce (sweet bbq sauce). I get all my items on this website:  http://www.asianfoodgrocer.com/.

What you'll need:

• Pork (i use pork chops without the bone or any kind of sliced pork)
• Panko
• Oil for frying (I use vegetable)
• Egg
• Cabbage (optional)
• Tonkastu sauce (optional)
• Kewpie (optional)

What to do:
You can cut the pork thinner if it needs to be.
Put egg and panko in separate bowls.
Prepare pork to dip and fry. Wash off any access blood and other things.
Put oil in frying pan. I just use enough to cover the bottom. Heat up.
Dip pork in egg on both sides than in the panko on both sides. Make sure you completely cover it in panko before putting it in the pan.
Cook pork on med heat so it wont splatter everywhere.Turn over, if its light brown you should be good. Make sure you cook pork fully through.
Place cooked pork on plate and drizzle kewpie and tonkatsu sauce over. Cut cabbage in slices and set on the side and enjoy.
