Japanese Tonkatsu
Fried pork that makes a good main dish, especially served with rice, salad, and miso soup. Japanese breadcrumbs are different from the type you can buy in America, they are larger, so bigger cracker crumbs make this look better, but the taste will be about the same :-) If you don't want to use sake in the marinade, replace it with water and add extra sugar.
