Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless chicken breasts or pork loin cutlets
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cups cooked white rice
- 1/2 cup tonkatsu sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Pound the meat to about 1/2-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
- Set up a breading station: flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and panko in a third.
- Coat each cutlet first in flour, then dip into eggs, and finally press into panko until evenly coated.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat (about 350°F). Fry each cutlet for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Transfer fried cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Slice the fried cutlets and serve over cooked rice, drizzling with tonkatsu sauce.
