Pork Katsu is the ultimate Japanese comfort food, and Chef Esther’s version brings an authentic rendition to your table with ease. Tender pork loin is coated in an extra-crispy breading and fried to perfection, then paired with a sweet and creamy Tonkatsu sauce for dipping. It’s served with a side salad tossed in vibrant carrot-ginger dressing, adding a light, acidic element to balance out the rich pork cutlet. What more could you want?!
