For an extra crispy katsu, double-dredge the chicken in panko bread crumbs. Adjust the amount of pepper in the tonkatsu sauce to your preference. If you don't have a deep-fryer, a large skillet can be used. Ensure there's enough oil to fully submerge the chicken. Pounding the chicken to an even thickness ensures it cooks evenly and quickly. For a vegetarian option, substitute firm tofu slices for the chicken.
