Ingredients

• Pork loin chop - 200 grams
• Panko breadcrumbs - 50 grams
• All-purpose flour - 30 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil - for frying
• Mozzarella cheese - 100 grams, shredded
• Pizza dough - 200 grams (store-bought or homemade)
• Oyster sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Ketchup - 2 tablespoons
• Mayonnaise - 1 tablespoon
• Chopped green onions - for garnish

Steps

1. Prepare the pizza dough by rolling it out into a 10-inch circle and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. Season the pork loin chop with salt and black pepper on both sides.
3. Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with a beaten egg, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
4. Dredge the pork chop in flour, dip it in the beaten egg, and then coat it thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the breaded pork chop for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and let it drain on paper towels.
6. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
7. Spread a thin layer of oyster sauce on the pizza dough, followed by the ketchup and mayonnaise in a swirl pattern.
8. Slice the cooked tonkatsu into strips and arrange it evenly over the sauce on the pizza dough.
9. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the top.
10. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
11. Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped green onions, slice into wedges, and serve hot.
