How to make Korean-style minced cutlets

This is a Menchi-katsu from the minced pork series. In English, chopped meat is called "mince."

However, it seems that people in Japan refer to a dish created by applying hamburger and tonkatsu as "Menchi-katsu."

The deliciousness of Korean-style minced pork Menchi-katsu

"Korean-style minced pork Menchi-katsu" is a dish packed with delicious Korean flavors. First, because it uses minced pork, it is juicy and tender. It's covered in a special Korean-style sauce, which spreads a slightly sweet and spicy flavor. This sauce pairs wonderfully with the minced pork, making it addictive from the first bite. Also, because it has a crispy coating, the outside is crunchy and the inside is juicy, offering a delightful texture. It's easy for children to eat, making it a dish the whole family can enjoy.

How to make Korean-style Menchi-katsu

1. Combine meat, egg, firm onion, long onion, garlic, ginger, potato starch, soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, and pepper, then mix. Cover generously with breadcrumbs.

2. Fry along with potatoes. This prevents the tonkatsu from burning easily.

3. Arrange neatly, and your Korean-style Menchi-katsu is complete.

4. Here's a close-up. There was no microwave, so we couldn't melt the cheese.

Here are some arrangement methods to make Korean-style Menchi-katsu even more delicious.

1. Cheese-filled Menchi-katsu

If you wrap mozzarella or cheddar cheese inside the minced pork before frying, the cheese will ooze out when cut, resulting in an even richer flavor.

2. Kimchi Menchi-katsu

By mixing chopped kimchi into the minced meat, you can enjoy a spicy and flavorful Menchi-katsu. The acidity and spiciness of the kimchi add a great accent.

3. Vegetable-packed Menchi-katsu

Mixing finely chopped vegetables (onions, carrots, bell peppers, etc.) into the minced pork creates a more nutritionally balanced dish and helps children naturally eat their vegetables.

4. Sauce variations

Add gochujang (Korean chili paste) or sesame oil to the Korean-style sauce for a deeper flavor. A little mayonnaise can make the sauce milder and creamier.

5. In a sandwich

Placing fried Menchi-katsu in a sandwich or burger makes for a hearty lunch. Adding lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles can make it refreshing and delicious.
