published Aug 23, 2023 Pork tonkatsu, also called pork katsu or simply tonkatsu, is one of those recipes that delivers an insane amount of flavor with very little effort. In fact, this entire meal can be made in just under 20 minutes. Who knew Japanese cooking could be so easy!? A light batter and panko breadcrumbs give the pork an intoxicating crunchiness while keeping the meat inside succulent and moist. And if that wasn’t enough, this pork tonkatsu recipe comes to life when we add the homemade katsu sauce. Sweet, salty, savory, and sensational!
