How to make Tonkatsu (Japanese Pork Cutlet) Step by step guide

Hi everyone. Today, I'm showing you how to make Tonkatsu, a Japanese pork cutlet. Tonkatsu is a comfort food for many Japanese people. And I often make it for my family too. So I hope my video will help you make juicy and crispy Tonkatsu at home. Have fun cooking!😊

Deep-frying guide
The total deep-frying time is 5 minutes.
For the first three minutes, please deep-fry at 160 to 170°C.
And for the next two minutes, deep-fry at 175 to 180°C.
And let the Tonkatsu rest for 4 mins.

Salt and Black pepper for seasoning
100g Panko bread crumbs
100g All-purpose flour
1 Large egg

Oil for deep frying tonkatsu( I used Canola oil for this video)
Ingredients for Tonkatsu Sauce
2 tbsp Ketchup
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp Sugar
1 tbsp water
1 lemon wedge

This is a very clear and detailed instruction of how to make Tonkatsu. I appreciate that you included the cabbage slicing and what to do with leftover components! Thanks Mr. Kunihiro, I really hope you publish a cookbook some day.

[@sushibykunihiro7534]

A cook book with my face on it... That's actually my dream. 😊

[@maritasantos2602]

[@garylagera7584]

I am a Japanese/American with a dash of Filipino. The Japanese side of me loves to prepare this dish for all my friends. I use pork steak for more flavor and all enjoy the crispy fat. I'm proud of my Japanese heritage.

[@SwissTanuki]

Today I made Tonkatsu using your instructions. It was delicious and even my Japanese wife liked it. Thank you 😊

[@sushibykunihiro7534]

That's wonderful. Thank you so much for letting me know. 😊

Expert slicer…the human food processor! That is some fine match sticks.

[@sushibykunihiro7534]

I did my best.😁 But many chefs cut better than I do.😅

[@stanleywheat1340]

Thank you for sharing your recipes. You take away some of the intimidation of Japanese cuisine. I never thought I could do any of these dishes myself.

[@sushibykunihiro7534]

I'm so glad to hear that. Japanese food is basically very simple. Our intention is always to draw out the best flavor of each Ingredient. That's why I always explain many things in my videos. Every small step matters.

That's the same tonkatsu sauce I'm using! It's so delicious. I put it on everything lol. I just dipped fried potatoes in it earlier.
Edit: I didn't know about adding oil to the egg. I didn't know about using chopsticks as a thermometer. I also didn't know about putting the tonkatsu on it's side. I learned so much! You cook a beautiful piece of meat
