Tonkatsu is pork katsu - a japanese dish of panko-breaded pork loin which is fried and covered in a fruity yet savoury sauce. Have you used panko breadcrumbs before? Panko is made from bread baked by electrical current, which yields a bread without a crust, and which is then ground into fine flakes of crumb.
