You can buy breadcrumbs in Finland, but they are finer than Japanese breadcrumbs. When used as batter for frying, they become quite crunchy. The texture is different from that of Japanese breadcrumbs, and it’s delicious. If I want all of a sudden to fry something, it happens that I don’t have breadcrumbs at home, and if it feels like too much trouble to go out to the small market nearby and buy them. I use cornflakes instead as my friend post on twitter. Thank you Yoshimi!
Authentic pork cutlet sauce I am accustomed to is a luxury item in Finland. I did some research to see if I could make it myself. Then I gave up to make it from the beginning because of the amount of ingredients used. So I made Japanese Chuno Sauce with Heinz Worcestershire Sauce.
Tonkatsu is Japanese pork cutlet. You can eat it as it is, or make it into a lazy days special treat called katsu sandwich or serve it on rice as katsu don.
Cut a slit in the border between the lean and fatty parts of the pork to prevent the meat from curling up during cooking.
Sprinkle lightly with salt.
Prepare the oil at 170°C.
Beat the egg.
Crush the cornflakes to your preference, if used.
Sprinkle a thin layer of flour around the pork.
Dredge in egg, then sprinkle with breadcrumbs or cornflakes.
If using cornflakes, press down hard to get a good coating.
Fry in oil. Fry for 3-5 minutes, until the oil starts to splash lightly.
Drain off excess oil with kitchen paper and serve.
Tonkatsu sauce is commonly used, but it is also delicious with ponzu.It’s also nice to cook sandwich or katsu don with it.
