Tonkatsu
Panko-crusted pork cutlet, shatteringly crisp outside and juicy within.
About Tonkatsu
A thick pork loin or fillet is breaded in airy panko and deep-fried, then sliced and served with shredded cabbage, rice and a tangy-sweet tonkatsu sauce. It is Japanese comfort food at its most satisfying.
