A comforting dish featuring crispy pork chops topped with rich, savory curry sauce, perfect for a delightful meal experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Pork Chops
  • 2 Eggs
  • ½ cup Flour
  • ¼ cup Cold Water
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 2 cups Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 1 Onion (sliced)
  • 1 Carrot (cubed)
  • 2 Potatoes (cubed)
  • 1 tbsp Black Pepper
  • 1 pack Japanese Curry Cubes
  • 3 cups Water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pork chops by tenderizing them with a meat mallet and seasoning with salt and pepper.
  2. Set up a breading station: combine flour and cold water in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
  3. Dip each pork chop in the flour batter, then coat it in the beaten eggs, followed by the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. Heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot.
  5. Fry the breaded pork chops for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown, then transfer to paper towels to drain.
  6. Sauté sliced onions in another pot over medium heat until translucent, then add cubed carrots and potatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes.
  7. Pour in 3 cups of water and bring to a simmer, adding curry cubes and stirring until dissolved.
  8. Let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are fork-tender.
  9. Slice the pork katsu and serve topped with the curry sauce.
