  • Place flour, egg, and panko, each in separate shallow bowls; season each with salt and pepper. Dip pork chops into flour and then egg, shaking off excess. Dip into panko, pressing to adhere.

  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add pork, and cook until browned and cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.

  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together ketchup, Worcestershire, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; season with salt, and stir to combine. Thinly slice chops crosswise, and serve with Napa Salad and sauce on the side.

Cook's Notes

The tangy-sweet Tonkatsu dipping sauce is usually cooked. Try our fast take on it (no cooking required!) not only with our recipe but also with steak, chicken, or fish.

Ok, first off dump the salt with the pork.It's salty enough on it's own.Second the sauce ,is pretty bad,use Kikkoman katsu or use teriyaki .The result will be as close to japanese as you can get.We served it with white rice and broc as we didn't have cabbage on hand.It was awesome.Remember just use the panko ,flour and egg,no other seasoning needed.The sauce is the accent.Otherwise is too salty.
