Menchi katsu

Method

1. 1 Finely chop the onions and sauté them for 5 minutes until sweet, then let them cool completely.
2. 2 Mix ground beef and pork with onions, salt, and pepper, then knead for 5 minutes until smooth and sticky.
3. 3 Shape the mixture into thick patties, pound them back and forth between your hands to remove air bubbles, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
4. 4 Roll the patties in flour, then in beaten egg, and finally coat them completely with breadcrumbs.
5. 5 Deep-fry at 165 degrees for 6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
6. 6 Serve hot with shredded cabbage and tonkatsu sauce.
