Tonkatsu (豚カツ, とんかつ, or トンカツ), invented in the late 19th century, is a popular dish in
Japan. It consists of a
breaded,
deep-fried pork cutlet one to two centimeters thick and sliced to bite sized pieces, generally served with shredded
cabbage. Either a pork fillet (ヒレ, hire) or pork loin (ロース, rōsu) cut may be used; the meat is usually salted, peppered and dipped in a mixture of
flour, beaten egg and
panko (Japanese breadcrumbs) before being deep fried.
