CHEESE-FILLED KATSU?? 🤯 Tonkatsu is one of my favorite Japanese dishes, and I think this just made it even better. I mean, gooey cheese makes just about anything better, right?? Would you try this? Let me know in the comments! 🙌 INGREDIENTS 3 boneless pork loins (1 inch thick) 8 oz mozzarella block 2 eggs (beaten) 2 tbsp all purpose flour 3 cups panko Non-stick spray/vegetable oil Chives or green onion (optional; to taste) Katsu sauce (to taste) INSTRUCTIONS 1️⃣ Cut the three 1-inch pork loins like you’re butterflying them, but cut all the way through so you have 6 1/2-inch pork loins. Use a meat tenderizer on each one until they’re about 1/8 inch thick. 2️⃣ Cut the mozzarella brick into 6 even pieces. 3️⃣ Place one piece of mozz onto one of the tenderized pork loins, and roll it up like you would an egg roll. Repeat for the other 5. 4️⃣ Tightly wrap each piece in plastic wrap and put them in the freezer for 30 minutes. This helps the pork keep its shape and not unravel. 5️⃣ Take them out, and set aside. Preheat the air fryer to 360 F. 6️⃣ Set out two wide, shallow bowls. Fill one with the eggs and flour and whisk it well. Fill the other with the panko. Dunk and roll each pork loin in the egg/flour mixture, and then the panko. Make sure each is completely coated. 7️⃣ Lightly oil each piece. I like to use a refillable culinary spray bottle filled with avocado oil, but you can also use store-bought non-stick spray. Then, put them into the air fryer for 9 minutes. Flip them, spray oil on again, and put them back in for another 9 minutes. 8️⃣ Once done, either cut them the long way or the short way (both are shown in the video) and, optionally, top them with chives or green onions and serve with katsu sauce. 9️⃣ Enjoy!
