![]() You’ll see how it complements Tonkatsu when you actually eat them together! It is quite refreshing. In any case, Tonkatsu being a bit oily is ok (it is after all a fried food) because it is almost always accompanied by thinly shredded cabbage which is supposed to cut the greasiness of this fried dish. On the other hand, coarser, bigger pieces of bread crumbs like fresh bread crumbs could absorb a bit too much oil and might make Tonkatsu greasy. Italian bread crumbs are too fine and that doesn’t give the crunch we want. It is medium-size bread crumbs and that is perfect for Tonkatsu. The Panko (bread crumbs) we used here is Japanese, and most US supermarkets carry it today. Most of the ingredients in the recipe are easily found at US supermarkets, so they can be picked up next time you go grocery shopping without much trouble. If you are willing to deal with a large amount of hot oil and to clean up the mess afterward, you’ll be rewarded with a crispy delicious treat. Good news is, though, making Tonkatsu at home is not hard at all. Depending on where you live in the US, it might be a little hard to find Tonkatsu restaurants here since it’s such a specialized store. There are a lot of Tonkatsu restaurants in Japan, from small local shops to national chain restaurants. It’s not the healthiest Japanese food, but it is rather a comfort food which everybody can’t get enough of. It is a pork chop breaded with flour, egg, and Panko (bread crumbs), then deep fried. Tonkatsu (トンカツ) is one of the most beloved “western style” Japanese food in Japan. Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe
