“Tonkatsu” is the Japanese pork cutlet typically served with steamed rice and miso soup. A very popular dish of western inspired yooshoku.
Japanese are somewhat genius in terms of adopting foreign things. There are many awesome western inspired dishes that became staple items in Japanese homes creating category called “yooshoku”.
“Tonkatsu”, Japanese pork cutlet, is one of the stars of “yooshoku” and has it’s own dignity. A boneless pork loin is flattened, thinly floured, egg washed, and breaded with panko (Japanese bread crumbs) and deep fried. We will replicate a typical Japanese home meal menu which will include perfectly made steamed rice (it will be slightly sticky but not sticking together, a state of art of its own.), miso soup with wild mushrooms, tonkatsu with finely shredded cabbage, and green beans with sesame-miso dressing.
The class is hands-on and we will all sit down for fulfilling dinner that you have made yourselves. Bring your sake if you wish to toast for your dishes.
