Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • pork loin block
  • seasoned salt, a little
  • pepper, a little
  • flour, as needed
  • eggs, as needed
  • breadcrumbs, as needed
  • cooking oil, as needed

Recipe 🍳

  1. Season thickly sliced pork loin with seasoned salt and pepper.
  2. Place the seasoned meat in a vacuum pack and seal to prepare for sous-vide.
  3. Using a sous-vide machine, cook the pork loin for about 1 hour until fully cooked through.
  4. Once cooked, submerge the vacuum-packed meat in cold water to cool completely.
  5. Remove the meat from the pack and thoroughly pat dry the surface with a kitchen towel.
  6. Coat the cooled meat evenly in flour, egg wash, and breadcrumbs in that order.
  7. Heat the oil to 180°C, then add the tonkatsu and fry quickly for less than 1 minute until the coating is crispy, then drain.
  1. Vacuum-pack thick pork loin and cook in a sous-vide machine for 1 hour.
  2. Cool completely, pat dry the surface, and coat with flour, egg, and breadcrumbs.
  3. Fry quickly in oil at 180°C for less than 1 minute, until the coating is crispy.

Cooking tips 💡

  • If you fry the meat immediately after sous-vide while still hot, the coating will become soggy due to internal moisture. Make sure to cool it thoroughly and pat dry.
  • Since the inside is already fully cooked, using high oil temperature to quickly brown the coating is the secret to preserving the juices.
