Ingredients

• Pork loin chop - 250 grams
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• All-purpose flour - 1/4 cup
• Egg - 1 large
• Panko breadcrumbs - 1 cup
• Vegetable oil - 1/2 cup (for frying)
• Burger buns - 2
• Shredded cabbage - 1 cup
• Katsu sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons
• Sriracha - 1 teaspoon (optional)

Steps

1. 1. Begin by seasoning the pork loin chop with salt and black pepper on both sides.
2. 2. Prepare a breading station by placing the flour in one shallow dish, the beaten egg in another, and the panko breadcrumbs in a third.
3. 3. Dredge the seasoned pork in flour, shaking off excess, then dip it in the egg, and finally coat it with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
4. 4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
5. 5. Carefully place the breaded pork chop into the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6. 6. Toast the burger buns lightly in the same pan or in a toaster.
7. 7. Assemble the burger by spreading mayonnaise on the bottom bun, adding a layer of shredded cabbage, the fried pork katsu, a drizzle of katsu sauce, and sriracha if desired, then topping with the other half of the bun.
