Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless chicken breasts or pork loin cutlets
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
- 3 cups cooked sushi rice
- ½ cup tonkatsu sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Pound the chicken or pork cutlets to ½-inch thickness and season with salt and pepper.
- Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
- Coat each cutlet in flour, dip into the egg, then press into panko until fully covered.

- Transfer cooked cutlets to paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve over rice, drizzled with tonkatsu sauce.
