Tips

  • If you don't eat pork, use only ground beef, but ask your butcher for fatty beef.
  • For the tonkatsu sauce, you can buy commercial sauce or make your own.
  • Double breading (flour, beaten egg, breadcrumbs, then egg again, then breadcrumbs) for extra crispiness.
  • An air fryer can be used instead of deep frying.
