Recipe

Remove the silver skin from the pork loin, slice it thinly, and pound it as thin as possible with a meat mallet.
Lightly season the flattened meat with seasoned salt and black pepper.
Cut the whole mozzarella cheese block into stick shapes of suitable size.
Place the mozzarella stick on the flattened pork loin and roll it up tightly so the cheese does not leak out.
Coat the rolled meat thoroughly in flour, egg wash, and bread crumbs in that order.
Deep-fry in oil preheated to 150–160°C (300–320°F) until the cheese inside is fully melted and the meat is cooked through, until golden brown.
When cutting the fried cheese donkatsu, do not cut all the way through; instead, slice only through the outer meat portion to create the effect of the cheese stretching out.

Season thinly pounded pork loin with salt and pepper.
Tightly roll the whole mozzarella cheese in the meat, then coat with flour, egg, and bread crumbs.
Deep-fry in 150–160°C oil until golden, then lightly cut only the outer meat and serve.

Cooking tips

Wrap the cheese completely with the meat to prevent it from leaking out when melted, which could cause oil splattering.
When cutting the cheese donkatsu in half, do not cut through the center cheese; only cut the outer meat so the cheese stretches out without breaking.
