Tonkatsu with Curry Sauce
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 pork loin chops, boneless, 1/2 inch thick
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 2 cups cooked white rice, for serving
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Dredge each pork chop in the flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the pork chops for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- In a separate saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the curry powder and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, and sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the curry sauce, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
- Slice the tonkatsu into strips and serve over cooked white rice, drizzled with the curry sauce.
- Enjoy your delicious Tonkatsu with Curry Sauce!
