    This was really good. I made the classic tonkatsu sauce and crispy cabbage and the tomato salad from the book.

    I agree on this being a great tonkatsu. I didn't really care for the cabbage as it's just bland cabbage.

    I double breaded as he suggests and use the "smacking technique" and it worked very well. I did then in the airfryer however, to save on fat a bit. Overall very good and nice technique. I don't love cabbage with this so skipped it as well.
