My husband loves fried food, so I attempted so many different techniques to get the best tonkatsu possible. This is now the staple recipe for my family.Adding oil to the beaten egg is a trick that prevents the coating from falling off the meat. Also, dipping the meat into the coating twice helps to lock in the juices and makes the panko extra crispy. Recipe by Acchan

I copied my mother cooking this dish!Drop a pinch of panko into the oil. If it floats, then the temperature is perfect. For 2 servings. Recipe by momo:l

Some tonkatsu recipes involve layering the cuts of pork on the top of each other, shaping them, then dredging, which is too complicated. I simply used mayonnaise and panko, which I already tried when making fried Pacific Saury.Thinly sliced pork will make result in a tender meat. To shape the tonkatsu pieces, squeeze the meat slices into little balls with your hands. The mayonnaise makes it easier to coat in the panko. The thinly sliced pork can be cooked quickly without deep frying. Recipe by Madorinko

We want to eat tonkatsu (deep fried pork cutlets) sometimes, but deep frying is a bother... so at our house, we usually use this shallow fry method!Fry while shaking the pan!If you want to use more meat, add more oil. For 3 servings. Recipe by Chisora

Food similar to Tonkatsu was served as "pork cutlet" at Renga-Tei (Ginza, Tokyo) in 1899. The word "katsu" in Tonkatsu derives from côtelette (cutlet, in English). Though Tonkatsu used to be luxury foods, it's one of the most popular dishes for Japanese people nowadays.I'm going to introduce the Tonkatsu recipe that will be crispy no matter who makes it.#fry

Shiso leaves and cheese go so well together!I was rather bored with regular tonkatsu...Ginger pork doesn't need to have its sinews cut, so it's easy to handle!I used shiso leaves here, but these cutlets are delicious with kimchi too. For 4 servings. Recipe by azzlin9

I didn't have any tonkatsu pork in the refrigerator but I had pork belly. I tried making it into layered cutlets, and it was easier and more tender than regular tonkatsu!For Step 1, I spread the plastic wrap which the meat comes in on my cutting board so the board doesn't get dirty. No need to wash the cutting board in that case.In Step 4, I use the tray the meat came in (a dry one). Then you don't have another plate to wash up. Recipe by Plus Nine

My kids love Tonkatsu- Japanese style deep fried pork cutlets but I hate to deep fry, with all the extra oil and calories, So I pan-fried and let the oven do the rest. You can cut extra calories by using tenderloin instead of the usual loin which is much leaner.

I've always made tonkatsu this way.Sure, it increases the calorie count, but the coating is so thick and delicious.Dip the meat in flour and eggs thrice!!When dipping in the coating, the meat may seem soggy, but will become crisp when fried, so coat it a lot.I recommend making your own panko by crumbling stale bread.It'll have a crunchy finish!

We don't have a lot of "tonakatsu" (breaded pork cutlet) in our family. It's wasteful to buy tonkatsu sauce! I tried out many formulas, and came to this delicious recipe.I don't have any hints really. Adjust the ingredient amounts to your taste. If you mix all the ingredients listed together, it should taste like tonkatsu sauce. The more sesame seeds you add, the better the sauce tastes. Recipe by Ayudai

I've made layered tonkatsu (or "mille-feuille" tonkatsu) few times and thought, "Wouldn't it be easy if I just made a bite-size dish instead of making something big that needs to be cut?" so I made this recipe. It's not expensive to make, is delicious and is very hearty too!Adjust the amount of flour and water so the batter isn't too thin or too thick. You don't need use egg for the coating. If you're using cheese, make sure to place it in the middle and completely cover it with the meat so that it won't fall out. For 2 servings. Recipe by berry+

I wanted to eat some good tonkatsu!Even the cheap, tough cuts of meat, if pounded thoroughly, will transform into super soft meat. Recipe by misa
