- 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

steps
- 1.
Begin by tenderizing the pork chops by pounding them to about 1/2-inch thickness.

Season both sides of the pork with salt and black pepper.

Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten egg, and one with panko breadcrumbs.

Coat each pork chop in flour, then dip in egg, and finally press into the panko breadcrumbs until fully coated.
- 5.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded pork chops.

Fry each side for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 145°F.
- 7.
Remove the pork from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels.
- 8.
While the pork is resting, toast the slices of milk bread until light golden brown.
- 9.
Assemble each sandwich by placing a pork cutlet on a slice of bread, drizzling it generously with tonkatsu sauce, and adding shredded cabbage if desired.
- 10.
Top with another slice of bread, slice in half, and serve immediately.
