Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork loin chops
- 2 cups Gluten-free bread crumbs
- 1 cup Tapioca flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Gluten-free soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Mirin
- 2 teaspoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Sliced green onions
- 2 cups Shredded cabbage
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Trim any excess fat from the pork loin chops and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet.
Step 2
Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 3
Prepare three separate shallow bowls: one with tapioca flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with gluten-free bread crumbs.
Step 4
Dredge each pork chop in tapioca flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip them into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, coat them with gluten-free bread crumbs, pressing lightly to ensure the crumbs adhere well.
Step 5
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 6
Fry the breaded pork chops in batches, 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 7
In a small saucepan, combine gluten-free soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves, about 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Step 8
Serve the pork katsu with shredded cabbage and top with sliced green onions. Drizzle with the prepared sauce and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
