35: Tonkatsu [Deep-fried breaded pork cutlet rice bowl] (Page 70, Easy Japanese Cooking)

It's always nice to come back from the gym and eat something fried! Although at least I did cut back on my caffeine (only had 3 cups of tea) and had 1.5L of water.

I made a big mess tonight with all the flour and breadcrumbs ending up all over the counter. But in the end I got some crunchy pork out of it. But the crust does not look like the picture in the recipe book. I haven't figured that out. I think my deep frying technique needs some work. Although I prefer beef and chicken, I quite liked the tonkatsu sauce.

Next week I will probably attempt to cook something other than Japanese. I think I'm finally getting tired of Japanese food. Maybe I'll go Italian next. See how many different pasta dishes I can cook.
