Bake Pork Katsu

Made my version of pork katsu, bake. Not a fan of pork, but once in a while my brother buy pork katsu from the Japanese restaurant down stair. Founded some pork cutlets in the freezer, so decided to make it for him. Doesn't look pretty, some coating fell off when I flip it, but taste good according to my brother :)

Ingredients: 

Pork cutlets, 1 egg, Lee Kum Kee's Korean BBQ sauce, rice wine, Worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs, soy sauce, salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Wash the pork cutlets and clean it thoroughly

2. For each pork cutlet, use the back of the knife and pound the entire surface evenly or use a meat pounder if you have one

3. Mix the BBQ sauce, rice wine, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, salt and pepper all together in a big bowl ( I eye measured everything, so put what you think its appropriate)

4. Put the pork cutlets in the sauce bowl and let them marinate for 10 to 15 minutes

5. On a separate bowl, put in a raw egg and beat it

6. On a plate, pour out some bread crumbs

7. Dip the marinated pork cutlet into the egg bowl to coat it evenly with egg, then dip it into the plate with bread crumbs

8. Make sure the pork cutlet is coated with bread crumbs evenly on both side ( repeat the same steps for each cutlet)

9. On the baking pan, put on a layer of foil paper, spray it with cooking oil ( you can skip the foil paper and spray  the oil on top of the pan, I am just lazy to clean)

10. Put the pork cutlets evenly on the baking pan and spray more cooking oil on top of the cutlets

11. Put the baking pan with pork cutlets into the oven

12. Set the temperature to 380 degree and it should be done after 30 minutes

13. Flip the the pork cutlet after 15 to 20 minutes to make sure both side are crispy

(As you can see, I didn't do a good job of flipping, some of the coating fell off )

14. Serve it with ketchup or just eat it as it is

15. It goes well with rice and curry dishes 

Note: you can marinate your meat with what ever sauce available at home, it should come out fine. Rice wine kind of get rid of the meat smell and make it taste better
