  2. Set up the breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs in separate dishes.
  3. Bread the cutlets by dredging in flour, dipping in eggs, and coating with panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Heat vegetable or canola oil in a pan to about 350°F (175°C) for frying.
  5. Fry the cutlets for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and internal temperature is reached.
  6. Drain the fried cutlets on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  7. Make the tonkatsu sauce by mixing ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and sugar in a bowl.
  8. Assemble the bowls with steamed rice, sliced cutlets, and drizzle with tonkatsu sauce.
  9. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
