Pork Tonkatsu

This is my version of the Pork Tonkatsu Japan. Crispy breaded pork with sweet and tangy sauce that is delicious. A very tasty dish is slightly different (but in a very good way!) ready in under 30 minutes.

I don't think I even knew existed until the panko bread crumbs about 5 years ago.

Currently we're lining pork steak in wonderful crispiness panko.

Tonkatsu sauce for Pork is strong, sharp and sweet, but delicious.  Feel it directly from the pot and you may pucker your lips a little and thought it would be too strong. However, after it had drizzled in pork it feels great.  A whole lot of polished minutes by me, Chris and the kids (even drizzled raw cabbage sauce are consumed without arguments!).

I got the recipe from the good old Hairy Bikers (love those-they are where I got the recipe from a Cornish Pasty of me too).  I made some minor changes (use wine instead of the dry sake, ginger instead of fresh, skip the mustard powder, add a little curry powder and finish the pork from the oven) but everything else is pretty much the same.
