Steps

1

Cut the pork loin into strips about 3/4 inch wide. Place in a plastic bag, add the seasoning ingredients, and massage well. Let marinate in the refrigerator for a while.
2

To make the curry sauce, cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 600W for 3 minutes, until slightly softened.
3

Add the curry roux and water to the vegetables. Cover and microwave at 600W for 1 minute. Stir well to dissolve the roux.
4

Add the seasonings to the mixture and stir well. Cover and microwave at 600W for 2 minutes. Stir again, then microwave uncovered for another 2 minutes.
5

Mix well and microwave a bit longer if needed until the sauce thickens slightly. The curry sauce is ready!
6

To make the pork cutlet, add mayonnaise to the marinated pork and massage to coat. Dredge with panko breadcrumbs.
7

Lightly oil the oven’s broiler pan and arrange the breaded pork on it. Broil for about 17 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown.
8

Scoop rice into bowls. Top with shredded cabbage, then spoon on the curry sauce. Place the pork cutlet on top to finish.
9

Add your choice of toppings, such as eggs or blanched greens. Top with fukujinzuke pickles if you like!
