Air Fried Pork Tonkatsu with a cabbage salad.

This an easy, but great recipe. Pick a few boneless chops, if they are thick, pound them down. Season them with salt and pepper. Make up a dredge station of beaten eggs, panko and a bowl of flour mixed with starch. I would like to have potato starch, but had to go with corn starch.

Dry the cuts, coat with the flour, dip in the egg, coat with the panko. If you are feeling brave, do the egg and panko again.

Spray them down with avocado oil on both sides and put them into the air fryer. I did mine at 400° for 20 minutes. But put a thermometer if you can. I stopped the heat at 180° and pulled them.

While they cooked I made a Tonkatsu sauce of 6 tbs of Worcester sauce, and 6 tabs of ketchup, a tsp of agave and 3 TBSP of soy sauce. Grind in some black pepper into this.

While the pork cooked and the sauce was made, I made my salad. I thin sliced some cabbage on my mandolin. While the pork cooked I put this into some iced water and removed it some of the sulfur.

Then I made a sesame vinaigrette for the cabbage.

I will admit I did one crazy thing. I served the meal with the fried pork and the cabbage and the sauce. But I actually bought some Zaxyby’s sauce. Half the pork got the traditional sauce, half got the Zaxby’s.

They were both incredibly good, as was the cabbage salad.
