Tonkatsu Pork
Step 1 of 5
Remove the large piece of fat from the edge of each pork chop. Place each chop between two sheets of parchment paper and pound to about ½ inch (1 cm) thick. Use your hands to reshape it to its original form.
— Bashing and reshaping the meat produces a more succulent result than simply pounding it flat.
