  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour and panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free alternatives.
  • Adjust the sweetness of the Tonkatsu sauce by altering the amount of mirin or honey.
  • Feel free to add other toppings like pickled ginger or radishes for extra flavor.
