0 of 6 steps
Phase 1

Preparation

  1. Grate onion and combine with the ground meats, salt and pepper. Shape one 1.5 cm thick oval per serving.

  2. Set out three plates: flour, beaten egg and panko. Coat each piece in flour, then egg, then panko.

    Tip: Shake off excess flour before dipping in egg and gently press on panko; an overly thick coating can fall off.

Phase 2

Cooking

  1. Heat the oil to 170 °C in a deep pan filled no more than halfway.

  2. Fry in batches for 5–7 minutes, turning carefully. Check meat reaches 75 °C at the centre; fish should be opaque and flake easily.

    Timer · 7 min
  3. Drain on a rack for 3 minutes. Cut one piece to check that the centre is cooked through.

    Timer · 3 min
Phase 3

Serving

  1. Wash and finely shred cabbage. Serve the cutlet with cabbage and tonkatsu sauce.
