Japanese-Style Cheese-Stuffed Pork Katsu with Garlic Butter

Melting cheese and a garlic butter finish give Japanese-style pork katsu an indulgent twist.

Pound slices of pork tenderloin thin and brush lightly with Custom Culinary® Garlic Butter Flavored Oil Glaze. Add shredded carrot, green bell pepper and plenty of mozzarella. Roll tightly and chill to hold the shape, then coat in flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs. Fry until golden and brush with another layer of glaze before serving.

A crisp crust gives way to juicy pork and stretchy melted cheese, with bold garlic and buttery richness in every bite. The vegetables add freshness, balancing the filling in this flavorful take on Japanese fried pork.

Preparation

1. Cut the pork tenderloin into slices about 1 cm thick. Place between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin until tender and about 0.5 cm thick.Remove the top sheet of plastic wrap and brush the pork lightly with Custom Culinary® Garlic Butter Flavored Oil Glaze.

2. Cut the carrot and green bell pepper into fine strips and set out the mozzarella.Place the vegetables and cheese in the center of each pork slice. Starting at one end, roll up tightly to enclose the filling.

3. Wrap the pork rolls tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up and make them easier to handle.

4. Unwrap the pork rolls. Dredge in flour, dip in beaten egg, then coat with breadcrumbs. Coat evenly at each stage and press gently to help the breading stick.

5. Heat a deep pan of cooking oil to 160°C. Add the breaded pork rolls and fry over low heat for about 5 minutes, until golden and crisp. Lift out and drain.Heat the oil to 180°C and fry the rolls again for 30 seconds for an extra-crisp crust.

6. Drain the pork katsu briefly, then brush with Garlic Butter Flavored Oil Glaze. Slice, arrange on a plate and serve.
