Pork katsu is a delicious Japanese dish that consists of breaded and fried pork cutlets. Traditionally, it is deep-fried in oil, but with the help of your air fryer you can make this crispy and flavorful dish with less oil and less mess and calories.
Dip each pork chop in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip it in the beaten egg, and finally coat it in the panko breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the pork chop to ensure a good coating.
Place the breaded pork chops on a plate or tray.
Spray both sides of the pork chops with cooking spray. This will help them brown and become crispy in the air fryer.
Place the pork chops in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between each piece. If necessary, you can cook them in batches.
Cook the pork chops in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through. You can flip them halfway through cooking for even browning.
Once the pork chops are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and ensure that they are juicy and tender.
