Tonkatsu, a beloved Japanese dish, has a rich history dating back to the late 19th century. It consists of a breaded and deep-fried pork cutlet, typically served with a side of shredded cabbage. The dish was first introduced in Japan by a chef named Yoshibei Shōin, who was inspired by Western cuisine. Tonkatsu quickly gained popularity and became a staple in Japanese cuisine. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in specialty tonkatsu restaurants in Tokyo, where chefs meticulously prepare the pork cutlet to achieve the perfect balance of crispy exterior and juicy, tender meat. The key to a delicious tonkatsu lies in the quality of the pork, the breading technique, and the precise frying method. Some alternative methods for making tonkatsu include using chicken or even seafood as the main protein, offering a unique twist on the classic dish. Whether enjoyed at a traditional tonkatsu eatery or homemade, the crispy, golden-brown tonkatsu paired with a refreshing side of shredded cabbage never fails to delight the taste buds.
