Thank you for making this recipe popular! The rich sauce makes it perfect with rice, cabbage, or even a drink!
The origin of this recipe
I switched from making tonkatsu to tonteki midway, and it turned out delicious. It's healthier than frying, and the sweet sauce was a big hit with the kids.
The meat in the photo uses Costco's 'pork loin ribs'. It stayed tender and tasty even after cooking.

Steps

1

Cut the pork into easy-to-eat pieces, season with salt and pepper, and coat with flour. If using tonkatsu meat, make cuts in the muscle to prevent curling.
2

Cut the onion into wedges about 1/4 inch thick and microwave in a microwave-safe dish for about 2 minutes. (You can also sauté it, but microwaving saves time.)
3

Add a generous amount of oil (not listed in ingredients) to a frying pan and cook the pork. Once browned, flip it over, cover, and cook through.
4

Once cooked, add the onion and pour the sauce over the top. Stir to coat everything, and once the sauce thickens, it's ready.
5

Serve with shredded cabbage or other vegetables. (The tonteki sauce goes great with shredded cabbage!)
