Oh my! Has not been updating this poor blog for so long! *wipe away the cob webs*
Well, I have been busy doing lots of bento creations lately so kind of neglected this blog. I still cook and explored new recipes, just that I do not have much time to update them in here. Will try to be more consistent with my postings here as I have quite a few back dated recipes to share. Also, the kids have been taking up a lot of my time since baby is more mobile now. :D
Today, I wanted to share a very yummy deep fried pork cutlet or commonly known as tonkutsu recipe given by a very talented mom from Hawaii. I actually asked for this recipe more than a year ago *blushed* and only now did I cook this it! That was because I seldom do deep frying since the day my hubby took over the mop from me! So, each time I do frying in the kitchen, I must do a thorough clean up. Since I am such a lazy bum now, I have resorted to do steaming and broiling only! :mrgreen:

Ingredients
- 3 slices Pork chop/cutlet (about 1cm thick)
- 1 Egg
- Some corn flour (the original recipe asked for flour)
- Some Bread crumbs (panko)
- Sugar ( I used brown sugar)
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tbsp Water
- Oil for frying
.
Methods
- Clean the pork slices then tenderize the meat by using the back of the clever in a criss-cross pattern. Used some kitchen napkins and absorb all excess liquid.
- Sprinkle the sugar, pepper, garlic powder and salt onto meat and gently rub them on both sides.
- Heat up frying pan with oil (enough to fill half the pan) and test with chopstick before frying.
- Firstly, put the corn flour onto a flat plate and coat both sides of the meat.
- In another plate, beat egg and add water. After coating the meat with corn flour, coat it with the egg mixture.
- In another flat plate, fill it with bread crumbs/panko. After coating the meat with egg, coat it with the bread crumbs before frying it in the pan.
- Keep heat at medium so the bread crumbs would not burn so easily. Fry till golden brown/cooked.
