Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Season the cutlets with salt and pepper on both sides. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
  2. Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs. Dredge each cutlet in flour, dip in eggs, and press into breadcrumbs.
  3. Heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  4. Carefully place the breaded cutlets in the hot oil and fry for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Remove cutlets and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Allow to rest for a couple of minutes, then slice.
  6. Spoon the warm Japanese curry sauce over the sliced pork katsu.
  7. Garnish with chopped green onion and black pepper, if desired. Serve hot.
