The Taste of Nostalgia: Gyeongyangsik Tonkatsu!
The Special Charm of Korean-Style Tonkatsu!
  1. Korean-style tonkatsu (Gyeongyangsik Tonkatsu) is a distinct adaptation of European cutlets and Japanese tonkatsu, featuring a thin, pounded pork cutlet poured with rich sweet-and-sour sauce.
  2. Unlike Japanese-style tonkatsu served with thick meat and separate dipping sauce, Korean tonkatsu is famously served as large "King Tonkatsu" (์™•๋ˆ๊ฐ€์Šค) covered fully in sauce.
  3. It holds deep nostalgia for Koreans as a cherished family meal served at retro Western-style diners (๊ฒฝ์–‘์‹์ง‘) alongside corn soup, macaroni salad, kimchi, and green chili peppers.
  4. You can easily recreate authentic Korean Gyeongyangsik Tonkatsu anywhere in the world using pork loin, panko breadcrumbs, and a simple homemade savory sauce.

The history of Korean-style tonkatsu begins with the Western 'Cutlet'. This dish, which originated in Italy and Austria, came to Japan in the late 19th century and evolved into 'Tonkatsu'. Japanese tonkatsu, with its thick meat and crispy texture and a separate dipping sauce, underwent a unique transformation after it arrived in Korea.

Korean-style tonkatsu is more than just a delicious food; it's a dish that evokes memories and nostalgia. The experience of cutting a thin tonkatsu with a knife at an old restaurant remains a special memory for many Koreans. It's also a great feature that it is served with various side dishes like corn soup, salad, and macaroni salad.

The 'macaroni salad' served with Gyeongyangsik tonkatsu helps cut the richness of the cutlet. Its sour and savory taste is excellent. Serving it with kimchi and kkakdugi (diced radish kimchi) can be even more effective in reducing the greasy taste.
