15-Minute Katsu-Style Fried Cutlet | Food52 + Hidden Valley

Many cuisines have a version of a breaded fried cutlet; the Japanese take, called katsu, is pretty terrific. SUBSCRIBE TO FOOD52 ►► http://bit.ly/2f1wNmq

It’s considered an east-meets-west Japanese comfort food, usually made with pork (tonkatsu), sometimes chicken or other meats, that has been sliced or pounded thin, dredged in flour, then beaten egg, and then finally panko breadcrumbs before being fried. Sometimes katsu is deep-fried, sometimes it's more reservedly sautéed in a pan. It's usually served with slivered cabbage or lettuce and rice, and often a sweet-salty sauce called, appropriately enough, tonkatsu sauce.
