Ingredients
- 300 g pork chops
- 30 g almond flour
- 4 pieces eggs
- 2 tbsp tonkatsu sauce
- 200 g cabbage
Method
- Pound the pork chops to an even thickness of about 1 cm, then season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Set up a breading station by whisking the eggs in a shallow bowl and spreading the almond flour on a flat plate.
- Dip each pork chop into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then press firmly into the almond flour to coat both sides evenly.
- Heat a generous layer of oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then shallow-fry the breaded pork chops for 8 to 9 minutes per side until deep golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 63°C.
- Transfer the katsu to a wire rack or paper towels to drain for 2 to 3 minutes, then slice into strips using a sharp knife.
- Finely shred the cabbage and arrange it as a bed on each plate, then place the sliced katsu on top.
- Drizzle the tonkatsu sauce over the katsu just before serving.
