Cooking Instructions
- 1
Slice the tenderloin diagonally, each piece should be a inch thick, palm size (or smaller).
- 2
Pound the meat with a meat mallet to make the thickness even
- 3
Salt and pepper very lightly on the both sides of the meat then coat each piece with flour. (I do step 1-3 on the same cutting board)
- 4
Beat the egg in a bowl - add 1-2 tablespoon water and mix it well, in a large plate, spread out panko. Set both aside
- 5
Work one piece at a time. Dip the meat in the egg mix first, flip to coat both sides, move it to the panko plate and press the panko on the both sides - place it on a clean plate and move on to the next piece
- 6
Heat the oil in a large deep skillet (you don’t need a lot of oil, 1-2 inch would be enough). Drop a piece of panko and if it touches the bottom of your pan for 1 sec and float with small bubbles, the oil is at the right temperature!
- 7
When the oil is hot, put the meat in the oil - don’t over crowd the pan and don’t touch them until it starts moving around by itself in the pan
- 8
When the meat start moving around and floating in the oil, you can flip it. Cook the other side until both sides become golden brown (3-4 mins each side)
- 9
Rest the fried pieces on the paper towel lined rack while cooking the rest of the pieces so that you can get rid of excess oil
- 10
Serve with Okonomi sauce! (which you can find online on rakuten)
