  1. Thank you so much for this awesome recipe! I love katsu so much but hate when I go to eat it somewhere and the skin falls right off. I made this at home and it was perfect! The skin was nice and crunchy and it never fell off. I'm so excited I can now make something I love to eat at home.

  2. I make these all the time. I used to use crushed saltine crackers, but out of the blue I decided to try Panko. I won’t go back. Never knew this was a Japanese recipe. I bang out and flatten the pork chop first before breading and frying.

    Cool fact: Panko is made by electrocuting bread.

  3. Thank you so much for sharing!! For the first timers out there, make sure you’re using a deep fryer / make sure the tonkatsu is not touching the pan floor so the breadcrumbs don’t burn with the meat being prematurely cooked. I recommend you tenderize the meat too with either meat hammer / rolling pin / or even a water bottle so it’s thinner (crispier). 🙂
