Steps:
- For the sauce: Stir together the ketchup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, mirin, sugar, Dijon and garlic powder in a small bowl. Set aside while you prepare the pork.
- For the pork: Put the flour in a shallow bowl. Whisk the egg with a small splash of water in a second shallow bowl. Add the panko to a deep dish.
- Lightly pound each piece of pork with a meat mallet, then generously sprinkle on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge one cutlet in the flour, coating completely, then shake off any excess. Dip it in the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, then coat with the panko, gently pressing it into the panko so the crumbs stick. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining cutlets.
- Heat about 1/3 inch oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Add 2 of the cutlets and cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip the pieces over and cook until almost cooked through but still pink, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer the cutlets to a paper towel-lined cutting board, sprinkle with salt and tent with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the 2 remaining cutlets.
- For serving: Slice the cutlets crosswise into 1/2-inch strips. Place a sliced cutlet on each plate along with a scoop of rice, a mound of cabbage and 2 tomato wedges and/or cucumber slices, if using. Drizzle the cutlets with the sauce and serve with extra sauce on the side.

JAPANESE STYLE PORK BBQ - PORK YAKINIKU
In Japan, barbecue is popular. It is however different from the American style barbecue. Beef, pork, chicken are usually thinly sliced for quick grilling and are grilled indoors. The diners sit around the table with the grill in the middle and pieces are quickly grilled and eaten at the table a few pieces at a time. This type of barbecue is called yakiniku which translates to grilled meat. People outside of Japan are sometimes familiar with yakitori, a skewered chicken pieces, usually marinated and grilled. If you cannot find mirin easily, substitute sake or sherry with a bit of honey.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: A pork shoulder or pork loin is ideal for this recipe as they have a good amount of fat that will render out during cooking, resulting in crispy and juicy meat.
- Score the pork: Scoring the pork before cooking helps the marinade to penetrate deeper into the meat, resulting in more flavorful pork.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade for this recipe is made with a combination of soy sauce, mirin, sake, and garlic. You can also add other ingredients to the marinade, such as ginger, green onions, or sesame seeds, to taste.
- Cook the pork over medium heat: Cooking the pork over medium heat allows the meat to cook evenly without burning.
- Fry the pork until crispy: The pork should be fried until it is crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside. This will take about 10-12 minutes per side.

This Japanese-style crispy pork is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The pork is tender and juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside, and the flavorful marinade adds a delicious umami flavor.
