Pork Tonkatsu

 

 

 

I recently bought a cookbook featuring japanese cuisine. It’s just a small cookbook with some twenty odd recipes of japanese everyday simple meals. I took a liking to it immediately as the recipes really look easy, plus the photos printed on it looks so appetizing. Yum!

Well, you know what will happen next. I bought the book and came home to cook. Hehe!
