To prepare the pork, sprinkle some salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper (if desired) onto it. NOTE: If you're using a boneless pork chop, make sure to pound it slightly. To do so, wrap the pork chop in saran wrap and use a meat tenderizer mallet to thin it out a little. This helps ensure that the meat cooks evenly.
Lightly coat the pork cutlet with cornstarch.
Beat the Egg in a bowl
Dip the Pork cutlet into the Egg
To coat the pork cutlet properly, dip it into the Panko and press it firmly so that it adheres to the meat. Once you are done coating, you can cover the pork and refrigerate it until you are ready to cook it.
Place the cutlet in the air fryer and cook at 360°F for 10 minutes.
Flip the cutlets and cook for 10 more minutes until they are crispy and fully cooked, adjusting the time as needed based on your air fryer.
While the pork is air frying, prepare the cabbage by slicing or shredding it.
Remove the cutlet from the Air Fryer. let it cool for a couple of minutes. Cut it on an angle. Not sure why this is just the way it's always served.
Serve the cutlet with rice and cabbage. Drizzle Bull Dog Tonkatsu or Japanese BBQ sauce on top.
Enjoy!!!!!
