Recipe: Lighter Version of Tonkatsu
25 Feb
Growing up in Korea, a fancy meal usually involved eating with a knife and fork. To my 7 year old mind, tonkatsu was one of the fanciest meals I could ever have. I would get super excited and loved going out for tonkatsu!
Over the years, my love for tonkatsu waned, and my definition of fancy has surely changed. But what else would I make when I found pork fillets and panko crumbs in my kitchen?
I find it unfortunate that tonkatsu somehow translates to “Don gas” in certain Korean restaurants. It kind of makes me laugh and wonder why anyone would want to eat a dish containing the word “gas” in it.
