TONKATSU (JAPANESE-STYLE CRISPY FRIED PORK CUTLETS)

Steps:

• Place pork chops on a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

• Dip the pork into the egg mixture, coating completely. Transfer immediately to the bowl of panko, pressing in to evenly coat. Repeat process with the second pork chop.
• Heat oil in a wide pan or wok on medium-high heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lower a pork chop into the oil. Fry until bottom side is golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn; cook until other side turns golden and pork is slightly pink in the center, 2 to 3 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Pick up the cutlet and hold it on its side for a few seconds to let the oil drip off. Drain on a paper towel. Repeat with the second pork chop.

MOM'S PORK CURRY JAPANESE-STYLE

Steps:

• Saute meat until lightly browned in lightly oiled pan. Add onions and celery, cook until translucent. Transfer to large soup pot, add stock or water. If you use water, you may want to add base or bullion to taste. Add bay leaf, potatoes and carrots. Bring to a boil, then simmer until the vegetables are tender. Add salt if needed to taste. Thicken with roux made with butter, oil, and flour. Add curry powder to taste (I use S&B brand from Japan, 6 - 8 tbsp makes it nice and hot). You may toast the curry powder slightly in a small dry skillet before you add it to bring out the aroma. Serve on or beside steamed white rice (I like Botan -short grain Japanese rice), and add soy sauce to taste at the table.
