  • 1 - 1 1/2 cups (250 - 375 mL) canola oil

  • 2 cups (500 mL) shredded cabbage

  • 8 slices white sandwich bread, crust removed

  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) mayonnaise

Tonkatsu Sauce:

Directions

  1. Season cutlets on both sides with salt and pepper.

  2. Place the flour in a wide bowl, beat eggs in another bowl, and place the panko in a third bowl.

  3. Coat a cutlet thoroughly in the flour, dip into egg (Allow the excess to drip off), then completely coat on all sides with the panko. Repeat with remaining cutlets.

  4. Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the coated cutlets in batches, frying until golden and cooked through. About 3-4 minutes per side depending on the cutlet thickness. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining cutlets.

  5. To make sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and garlic powder until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
