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.

Steps

30 mins

1

Season the pork with salt and pepper on all sides and dust with flour. Beat the egg and dip the pork in it before rolling it a tray with panko bread crumbs.
2

Take the pork out and transfer on a baking tray and cook in the oven preheated to 160 C for 20 minutes or until done. (If you are using a meat thermometer, the center should be about 70 C)
3

Heat the skillet with vegetable oil on medium high heat. Pan fry the pork until golden brown on all sides.
4

Let it rest on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before cutting. (If you leave it on the baking tray the crust will get moist from the juices of the meat)
5

Cut and serve with shredded cabbage (The Japanese way!) To be served with Tonkatsu sauce if you have it, if not soy sauce is also OK.
