Just made this recipe but without the mozzarella cheese stuffing and it was still delicious. Another great recipe from Tasty!

[deanquach]

[sriana]

FUCK EREBODY HERE BECAUSE OF YURI ON ICE HONESTLY

[chrisdodd]

I made this Friday night, I didn't put cheese inside because that's kind of weird for tonkatsu. I fried it until the outside was nice and crispy but my cutlets were huge so they weren't done and I ended up baking them until they got to temperature. Baking on a rack and catching the drippings ensured that the outside stayed crispy while the inside stayed juicy. My cutlets turned out great. Awesome recipe.

[angelbeats]

is it just me, or did that egg mixture look really dark?

[marshaandini]

from what i know, original pork cutlet didn't had cheese.. i know its for a creative or to satisfy cheese lover, but...

[toristraube]

For people saying "ew why is there cheese. Americans ruining asian food", it's actually really good and very authentic to this dish. This surprised me when I first found it out, but it's actually a very common thing in asian countries like China, Korea, and Japan to put cheese on things. If you go to any curry shop in Japan, there will be an option to add cheese to it. Some options even come with it automatically to add more creaminess to the curry. Many Chinese seafood dishes have cheese baked in them, like Chinese style baked oysters will have a creamy cheese sauce on them. And cheesy corn is also a very popular Korean side dish in bbq restaurants. It seems odd at first but it really is normal to add cheese to these kinds of foods. This is a very authentic version of this dish.
