Are you getting tired of regular pork chops? Take your pork chops to the next level with our Air Fryer Tonkatsu; it's simply delicious. Seasoned pork chops are dredged in gluten-free all-purpose flour, whole milk, and almond meal, then air-fried until golden brown. The pork chops are served with Napa cabbage, lemon wedges, and a delicious homemade tonkatsu sauce. But you can also serve them with orzo rice or Briam Greek roasted vegetables.
Why are my air fryer pork chops tough?
You probably overcooked the pork chops. Pork chops contain little to no fat, making them challenging if cooked too long.
How long does pork go in the air fryer?
It only takes about 13–15 minutes to cook air fryer tonkatsu. However, the air frying time may vary, depending on the thickness of the pork chops.
How do you reheat frozen tonkatsu in the air fryer?
To reheat frozen tonkatsu, put them in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook them for 4 minutes. Flip the tonkatsu over and cook them for another 3–4 minutes until golden brown.
How do you keep tonkatsu crispy?
Once it's fried, place the tonkatsu on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet. Place the tonkatsu in a 200 °F oven to keep it warm and crispy.
