Tonkatsu – For those of you who are new to this dish, it is a Japanese food which consists of a breaded, deep-fried pork cutlet, chicken also works well.
Heat corn oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
Season pork chops with salt and pepper, to taste. Working one at a time, dredge pork chops in the flour, dip into the egg, then dredge in the Panko bread crumbs, pressing to coat.
Working in batches, add pork chops to the skillet, 2 or 3 at a time, and fry until evenly golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve immediately with rice and Tonkatsu sauce, if desired.
