Preparation
Air fryer
Pork tonkatsu
- Place flour in a bowl. Place eggs in a second bowl and breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
- If using pork chops, place them on a cutting board. Cover with plastic wrap and flatten with meat mallet until 1 cm (½ in.) thick. Season with salt and pepper.
- Coat each cutlet (or pork chop) with flour and shake to remove any excess. Dip in egg, then in breadcrumbs, pressing down. Dip in egg and breadcrumbs again.
- Preheat the air fryer. Place 2 cutlets (or pork chops) at a time, depending on size of fryer. Spray with oil and cook at 200 °C (400 °F) for about 4 minutes. Turn over and spray again. Continue cooking for 4–5 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes and slice.
