Just how my mom makes it: crispy pork, fresh shredded cabbage, and Bull Dog sauce. Just add sticky rice.
Thank you for sharing.
She looks mixed but I'm not sure which side is the Japanese side. Usually on the mom's side.
so Tonkatsu is like chicken cordon bleu but with pork?

Awesome video!
Great 👍. Thanks.
Super Cool.
Has anyone made this with her brine? saltiest brine recipe I have ever seen.
‘It doesn’t have to look perfect’
– it actually looks perfect 😂❤️
Looks amazing
She said way too many things wrong to make her a host she did not, make panko she made regular breadcrumbs, and a brine will remover water from the pork adding the flavors from the brine to the pork chop.
I saw someone made a comment about the salt concentration being off in brine, I thought I might just post my comment here again so people would understand what’s going on especially before they follow this recipe. When she said a cup of salt, she didn’t specify what type of salt or what’s the actual volume of that bowl/cup. But, she did say “97% water, 3% brine” which is the correct ratio. As per her 6 cups of water which is 1420g, 3% is 43g of salt which is 4-5 tbsps of kosher salt, 3 tbsp of sea salt or 1 1/3 tbsp of table salt.
pão not pan
Very special dish original came from Hawaii …..
Going from Matty to her is a crazy experience
Hey thanks but you’re wrong about using lean cuts of pork. The fattiest cuts are the best!
But Koji tho 👀
I am in love with her.
She's beautiful 😭❤️
MORE ELENA PLEASE! She’s not energetic but somehow, she’s not boring. She’s just very pleasant- is the only way I can describe her.
Anyway, this was a really good video and recipe
Great voice too….damm
Is this process applicable for chciken katsu
The recipe was way too salty, but everything else tasted great. Try doing a quarter cup of salt instead of 1 cup same with the sugar
Tonkatsu looks great 👍 but she did put the pork into a boiling water… ught. And didn't prep the meat to appropriate size and cut the side fats without removing it. That's not how japanese tonkatsu are made. On to of that, she doesn't know how to shred cabbage for tonkatsu. They re too thick. Supposed to use the cabbage slicer to make paper thin.
Need slice of lemon on the side and tonkatsu sauce. Some fancy tonkatsu restaurants here in Tokyo where I live also offers sea salt. Some people like salt instead of sauce. She should have researched or learn from real japanese professional tonkatsu chef before pretending to know everything and posting this video.
i definitely think it's worth making your own sauce. Equal parts ketchup and worchestershire, little bit of oyster sauce, some sugar/salt/cayenne to taste. Bulldog sauce will taste bland in comparison.
I wondered how the word pan got into the Japanese language…omoshiroii desu ne….
I love a chef that that’s not afraid to call the meat tenderizer nails “the pointy things”….awesome…

I love her
She's super cute, and very knowledgeable. I'm sold.
Weirdo
