This thanks to Yorkiebyte introducing me to the Bachan Sauce. Tonkatsu is really quick and easy. Boneless pork chops, or in this case, pork tenderloin cut and pounded flat, dip in flour, egg wash and Panko. Fry in fresh oil till golden brown, let stand for five minutes, cut and serve topped with Bachan or sauce of choice. Accompanied by rice, sliced cabbage marinated in rice vinegar with a little garlic and crushed red pepper. Corn - it really doesn't go with the meal, but it is fresh, in season and we like it. I used Kikkoman Panko, but if you like spicy, you might try Pereg Spicy Panko. Do experiment, it is spicier than you might expect.

THAT is a good lookin' meal! I had no idea what that Panko-ed pork was called - I've been making it for years as my mother used to with no name!
Nice ear.0.corn to boot! - Goes well with da' pork, I'd say.....
Smoky image: Sad, scary. Hope that fire is nowhere near you....
Your cooking always hits the bulls-eye with me, QD, and this dish is no exception. Well done.

Thanks very much! Mom and Grandma used to make bone in breaded pork chops basically the same way with bread crumbs. They wouldn't have heard of Panko - I never saw Panko in stores till I was an adult. Corn looked good and was on sale, maybe local. I like cooking corn a whole lot better since I learned the 2 minute trick. Boil water in a stainless skillet, add the corn, turn a couple of times in the 2 minutes. Rinse the corn in cold water and serve. Perfect for 4 ears or less.
Good recipes, and excellent photos, QD!

Come to think of it, you are right! My Granma's (both) used a Corn Flake coating - sometimes crushing their own and sometimes store-bought. Super crispy chicken and fish!! They must have at least put salt n' pepper in with it.
~ My mother did the same until an Asian friend of her's gave her some panko-type product - she was anxious to try it on something like pork cutlets or chicken... I must've been in Jr. High, I think. I remember that somewhat because I was getting slightly interested in what and how my mother was cooking... Good Times!!

Thanks very much! The sauce is very tasty, but by no means inexpensive! I am working on reducing / thickening it a bit, and adding a bit of heat and garlic. Before I run out, and I have a while since I bought 3 bottles, I'll be working on a home made version.

I sure don't want to damage their business, but if I can make something good for less...I'm either frugal or cheap!
