About Tonkatsu

Tonkatsu is a popular Japanese dish consisting of a breaded and deep-fried pork cutlet. Typically made with pork loin or pork fillet, it’s coated in flour, egg, and panko breadcrumbs before being fried to crispy perfection. Originating in Japan in the late 19th century, Tonkatsu has become a staple in Japanese cuisine, often served with shredded cabbage, rice, miso soup, and a tangy, savory Tonkatsu sauce. While it provides protein and essential nutrients from the pork, its preparation involves deep-frying, which can contribute to high levels of fat and calories. Choosing lean cuts of pork and cooking methods like baking or air-frying can make Tonkatsu healthier. Pairing it with fresh vegetables and lighter sides helps balance its nutritional profile, making it a flavorful yet indulgent option within a well-rounded meal.
