Tonkatsu (Japanese Pork Cutlet)

Japan's beloved pork cutlet: tender boneless pork loin coated in flour, egg and airy panko, double-fried until shatteringly crisp and golden, then sliced and served with a heap of fine shredded cabbage and a dipping sauce of tangy-sweet tonkatsu sauce mixed with freshly ground toasted sesame.
