Fried pork chop/ katsu/ tonkatsu/ Pork Schnitzel

step 1:

Prepare pork tenderloin, eggs, bread crumbs, and flour. For seasonings, you’ll need salt, black pepper, cooking wine, light soy sauce, and a sufficient amount of cooking oil for frying. Additionally, prepare a large bowl, a plate, and a meat mallet.

Step 2:

Wash the pork tenderloin, pat it dry with a paper towel, and cut it into large slices about 1 centimeter thick. Use the meat mallet to evenly pound both sides of the pork chops to loosen the meat texture. Put the pork chops into the large bowl, add salt, black pepper, cooking wine, and light soy sauce. Mix well with your hands and marinate for 20 minutes.

Step 3:

Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them into egg liquid. Take a plate and pour the flour into it. Take another plate and pour the bread crumbs into it. Dip the pork chops in the flour one by one, coating them evenly with a thin layer of flour, then gently shake off the excess flour. Next, put them into the egg liquid to let the pork chops be fully covered with the egg liquid. Finally, place them into the bread crumbs and press gently with your hands to make the bread crumbs evenly coat the surface of the pork chops.

Step 4:

Pour oil into the pot and heat it over medium heat. When fine bubbles appear around the oil, gently put the pork chops into the pot and keep frying over medium heat for 3 minutes. Flip the pork chops to ensure they are heated evenly. Once the surface of the pork chops turns golden and crispy, take them out and drain the oil. Increase the oil temperature and re-fry for 1 minute to make the outer skin of the pork chops even crispier.

Step 5:

Place the fried pork chops on kitchen paper to absorb excess oil, then cut them into strips and neatly arrange them on a plate. They can be served with tomato sauce, salt and pepper, or your favorite condiments, along with some fresh vegetable salad.
