Ingredients
– 2 boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
– Salt and pepper to taste

– 2 cups cooked Japanese rice (white or brown)
– 1 cup shredded cabbage (for garnish)
– Sliced green onions (for garnish)
– Tonkatsu sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
Creating Japanese Katsu Bowls with Tonkatsu Sauce can be simple if you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare the Pork: Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Set Up Breading Station: Place the flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs in three separate shallow dishes.
3. Bread the Pork: Dredge each pork chop in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it in the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it in panko breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs onto the pork to ensure an even coating.
4. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil over medium heat.
5. Fry the Pork: Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded pork chops into the skillet. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
6. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the pork from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
7. Slice the Pork: Once the pork is slightly cooled, slice it into strips.
8. Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, place a generous scoop of cooked rice. Arrange the sliced pork on top.
9. Add Garnishes: Top with shredded cabbage, sliced green onions, and drizzle with tonkatsu sauce.
10. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your delicious Katsu Bowls while they are hot!
