INGREDIENTS

Tonkatsu

2 8-ounce pieces boneless pork loin, about 2-inches thick

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

2 large eggs, whisked 

1 tablespoon hot sauce

1 cup all purpose flour

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 cup neutral oil, for frying

Sauce

¼ cup ketchup

2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce 

2 tablespoons oyster sauce 

1 tablespoon light brown sugar 

Cabbage Salad

½ head green cabbage, shredded

3 radish, sliced

1 cucumber, sliced

1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

1 teaspoon granulated sugar

½ teaspoon kosher salt 

2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

2 tablespoons chopped cilantro  

Assembly

Steamed sushi rice

PROCEDURE

1. Season each piece of pork with salt and black pepper. Place the pork between two pieces of parchment or plastic wrap. Gently pound the pork until it is about ½-inch thick. 

2. Dredge the pork in the flour to coat completely then repeat in the egg and finally the panko breadcrumbs. 

3. Place the cutlet in the pan and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until cooked through, about 4 more minutes. Remove the pork to a wire rack set over a sheet tray and lightly season with salt. 

4. In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, worcestershire, soy sauce, oyster sauce and brown sugar.

5. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cabbage, radish, cucumber, toasted sesame seeds, sugar, salt, rice vinegar and cilantro. 

6. Place the pork over a bed of cooked sushi rice and drizzle with the sauce. Serve with the cabbage salad, and pickled daikon and radish.
