Egg Cutlet Ingredients- Generous amount of Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 fresh Egg
- Cooking oil (for frying)
- Tonkatsu sauce (to taste)
- Thinly shredded Cabbage
- Parsley flakes (for garnish, optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Pour a generous amount of cooking oil into a pot or deep pan and heat over medium heat. If you drop a little panko and it sizzles, the oil is at the right temperature.
Step 2
Carefully crack 1 fresh egg into a small bowl. Be careful not to break the yolk.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the panko. In a wide bowl large enough for both your hands, pour a generous amount of panko breadcrumbs. If you don’t have enough panko, the cutlet might not be coated properly when frying.
Step 4
Using your fingers, gently press the center of the panko to create a hollow, like a small nest.
Step 5
Carefully pour the egg you cracked earlier into the hollow in the center of the panko. Make sure the yolk is in the middle.
Step 6
Using both hands, quickly scoop and wrap the panko around the egg. Ensure the panko coats the egg completely, shaping the egg by patting it together from the top, bottom, left, and right as you lift it. Gently squeeze the panko-coated egg to maintain its shape without it falling apart.
Step 7
Carefully place the panko-coated egg into the preheated cooking oil and fry. Be cautious to prevent the egg from bursting in the oil, and fry until the outer layer turns golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Once the panko coating on the egg cutlet turns a delicious golden brown and is crispy, lift it out of the oil, draining thoroughly. Removing excess oil on a paper towel will make it even crispier.
Step 9
Arrange the thinly shredded cabbage attractively on a plate, and place the freshly fried egg cutlet on top. Drizzle generously with tonkatsu sauce to your liking. Optionally, sprinkle with parsley flakes for an even more delightful presentation of your egg cutlet!
