Pork chops are relatively easy to cook, but they present a bit of a challenge. Since they're such a lean cut, they're prone to overcooking and quick to dry out. A matter of minutes can make a difference between slicing through a succulent pork loin and chewing a tough cardboard-like piece of meat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I have two favorite ways to prepare juicy, flavorful pork chops. First, my copycat salt and pepper pork chops<\/a>! They took a bit of experimentation, but I'm proud to say they're just as good, if not better, than the restaurants. Second, tonkatsu!<\/p>\n\n\n

What is Tonkatsu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tonkatsu is a Japanese dish consisting of a crispy fried pork cutlet. Seasoned pork loin or fillet is lightly dredged in flour, dipped in beaten eggs, and coated in Panko bread crumbs before deep-frying in hot oil until golden and crunchy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While pork (ton) is the most popular, several variations use other meat alternatives such as boneless chicken (tori<\/em>), minced meat patties (menchi<\/em>), ham steaks (hamu<\/em>), and beef (gyu<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
