Ingredients

Before we get cooking, here’s everything you need. Check items off as you go — at home or in the store.

Directions

  • One at a time, place boneless chop into a plastic bag and use a flat mallet to pound pork to ½ - ¾-inch thickness.
  • Place the flour, eggs, and panko into three separate shallow bowls or containers. Season each with salt and pepper.
  • Bread pork chops by first coating in flour, then beaten eggs, and then panko, ensuring each layer is fulling coating the pork. Repeat for each chop.
  • Preheat air fryer to 400°F for 3-5 minutes.
  • Spray chops on both sides with cooking spray and place in an air fryer, roughly 3-4 chops at a time to ensure there isn’t overcrowding. Air fry, about 10-12 minutes flipping halfway through, until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Allow a 3-minute rest.
  • While pork is cooking, whisk together ketchup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, mirin, brown sugar if using, garlic powder, and ground ginger to make tonkatsu sauce. Set aside.
  • Allow pork to rest 5 minutes after air frying and slice. Serve over rice and with napa cabbage leaves if desired and top with a drizzle of tonkatsu sauce.
