Tonkatsu Shoyu Ramen (Pork Cutlet Soy Sauce Ramen)

If you have ever wanted to make Japanese noodle house ramen, this tonkatsu recipe is for you. This everyday meal is great for singles with some cooking experience; it may take longer than the overall time without cooking experience. To save time, I rarely measure each ingredient's amount due to the large number of small measurements in the recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ½ teaspoons spicy sesame oil
  • 2 (1x3-inch) boneless pork chop slices
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
