Steps:
- If there is connecting tissue separating red meat and a band of fat, cut the tissue every 2-3cm (1"). This will prevent the meat from curling when cooked. Lightly pound the pork to tenderise.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides of meat.
- Coat the meat with flour, egg, then breadcrumbs.
- Heat oil to 170C (338F) (note 2) and fry the meat for 2 minutes. Turnover and fry further 1.5 - 2 minutes (note 3) until it becomes golden brown.
- Turn over again and fry for about 1 minute until deep golden brown, then put aside on kitchen paper.
- Cut each tonkatsu into 2cm (¾") wide strips.
- If you are making tonkatsu for katsu-don, go to Katsu-don instructions.
- Serve with shredded cabbage and Bulldog tonkatsu sauce.

CRISPY PORK CUTLETS (TONKATSU) WITH SHAVED CABBAGE SALAD AND GINGER VINAIGRETTE
The pork quality is essential to this dish and you need a tender cut with lots of good marbling. I use a boneless rib chop with very even and dense marbling. I also prefer my cutlets to be thick, as this helps to keep the meat from drying out as you fry it. Please use a heritage breed of pork such as Kurobuta, Berkshire or Iberico; they all have superior flavor and marbling.

Steps:
- Soak the cabbage in ice water for 20 minutes. Drain thoroughly then spin very dry in a salad spinner (or pat with paper towels). Set aside.
- Meanwhile, carefully score the flat sides of the chops with a paring knife at 1-inch intervals, about 1/4 inch deep. Season with kosher salt and pepper.
- Heat 3 inches of oil in a large pot to 350 degrees F.
- Put the flour, eggs and panko in 3 separate shallow bowls. Season the flour with salt and pepper. Dredge each chop in the flour, shaking off the excess; dip in the egg, then dredge in the panko, pressing to help the crumbs adhere.
- Fry the cutlets in a single layer, working in batches if need be, until medium browned (not burnt), 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the cutlets to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet and season immediately with sea salt.
- While the cutlets cook, combine the cabbage with the chives, lemon juice and salt in a large bowl and toss.
- Place each cutlet on a plate; add a pile of the seasoned cabbage and dress with the vinaigrette. Serve right away with some tonkatsu sauce, a smear of Japanese hot mustard on the edge of plate, lemon wedges and bowls of rice on the side, if you like.
- Bring a medium saucepan of water to a simmer. Add the carrots and cook for 1 minute. Drain then immediately plunge in ice water. Drain again, then place in a blender. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Season with salt and white pepper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 week. Makes 3 cups.

TONKATSU WITH HOMEMADE SAUCE
Tonkatsu (fried pork cutlets) is one of the most popular dishes in Japan. It's commonly served with a bottled sauce (Bull Dog is a beloved brand), but making a homemade version is simple and quick. Slice the cabbage that accompanies the pork as thinly as possible and keep it cold until ready to serve for the best contrast in taste and texture.

Steps:
- For the sauce: Stir together the ketchup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, mirin, sugar, Dijon and garlic powder in a small bowl. Set aside while you prepare the pork.
- For the pork: Put the flour in a shallow bowl. Whisk the egg with a small splash of water in a second shallow bowl. Add the panko to a deep dish.
- Lightly pound each piece of pork with a meat mallet, then generously sprinkle on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge one cutlet in the flour, coating completely, then shake off any excess. Dip it in the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, then coat with the panko, gently pressing it into the panko so the crumbs stick. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining cutlets.
- Heat about 1/3 inch oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Add 2 of the cutlets and cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip the pieces over and cook until almost cooked through but still pink, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer the cutlets to a paper towel-lined cutting board, sprinkle with salt and tent with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the 2 remaining cutlets.
- For serving: Slice the cutlets crosswise into 1/2-inch strips. Place a sliced cutlet on each plate along with a scoop of rice, a mound of cabbage and 2 tomato wedges and/or cucumber slices, if using. Drizzle the cutlets with the sauce and serve with extra sauce on the side.
