This recipe for homemade Tonkatsu with Iberian comes to snap the recipes of appetizers special and easy for the holidays. I have to tell you that I have brought it me of one of my favorite Asian. It is of the Chuka Ramen Bar Rodrigo García Fonseca and John Husby.
I met Rodrigo one night in my beloved "Sacha" (my favorite undoubtedly in Madrid for a thousand reasons), one of those that remain engraved because they taste like glory, that make time pass without realizing it and that suddenly, it is time to go almost to breakfast. It's a guy fantastic (the two are, Sacha and Rodrigo) and to tell the truth, we do not stop laugh with thousands of things.
At that time I had already been in his restaurant, in which I drew the eye to this Tonkatsu home with Iberian, since then have become, because we love that kitchen cosmopolitan Japanese come from China with a very successful fusion of flavors and ingredients (fantastic ramen and the dim sum). You have to go!
This home Tonkatsu with Iberian caught my attention. They put it whole and cut it on the plate, but I prepared it for the first time for a dinner with friends and it seemed much more fun to present it already filleted with the sauce rather than cut it after freiría.
In my recipe for homemade Tonkatsu with Iberian, I add a bit of rock & roll to the dam with a touch of chile before passing it by panko that are a few Japanese bread crumbs give extra crunchy fried and is much more fun than a simple traditional breadcrumbs. I hope you enjoy it as much as my guests who did not leave a crumb.

The tonkatsu is one of the favorite dishes at my house but it is not easy to find the sauce already prepared (mark bull-dog), which thought irreplaceable by the characteristic flavour! not give the type of meat cutting, already tried with sirloin and loin belt. I'll try with Iberian.
In Japan there are some tiny bars where only prepared tonkatsu for years so compete with that memory and their traditional way to serve it is difficult, but I'm me Chuka Ramen bar!
Thank you and happy new year!
Good Maraura, how glad to read your words! The tonkatsu is very special and as you say with a very characteristic taste. I hope you like this and the safe Rodrigo which you love. Not is if it will compete with your memory, but it is certainly very good. Thank you for writing and for being here with me :)
