Tonkatsu意思

"Tonkatsu" is a Japanese word that refers to a dish of deep-fried pork cutlet that is breaded with panko (Japanese breadcrumbs). It is a popular dish in Japanese cuisine and is often served with various dipping sauces, such as tonkatsu sauce (a type of Worcestershire sauce), mustard, or soy sauce.

The word "tonkatsu" is derived from the Japanese words "ton" (豚), which means pork, and "katsu" (カツ), which is a shortened form of "cutlet" in Japanese. The dish is typically made by pounding the pork cutlet thin, coating it in flour, egg, and panko, and then deep-frying it until it is crispy and golden brown.

Tonkatsu can be served as a standalone dish or as part of a set meal, often accompanied by rice, miso soup, and shredded cabbage. It is a staple in many Japanese restaurants and is also a common home-cooked meal.
