Lotte Food 'Shefood Sirloin Whole Tonkatsu', Pounded with Meat Hammer to Preserve Thick Texture [The World of Convenience Foods]

[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] Lotte Food’s ‘Shefood Pork Loin Whole Tonkatsu’ is a thick-style tonkatsu convenience food product that can be found at specialized tonkatsu restaurants. It features a rich flavor that fills the mouth with a thickness of about 2cm, made by coating domestically sourced whole pork loin with batter and breadcrumbs.

Shefood Pork Loin Whole Tonkatsu has elevated the quality of traditional tonkatsu products through the latest manufacturing equipment that enhances the product’s texture. The whole loin is vacuum-aged at low temperature and then kneaded multiple times and evenly pounded with a meat hammer, just like when making handmade tonkatsu, preserving the thick cut while delivering a tender texture.

Additionally, since it is already fried, you can easily complete chef-quality tonkatsu with simple air fryer cooking. In particular, it is fried in high-oleic soybean oil, allowing you to enjoy a richer aroma and crispier texture. ‘Lotte High-Oleic Soybean Oil’ is an edible oil jointly developed by Lotte Food and ‘Bunge,’ a global leader in premium oil manufacturing, with a high oleic acid content that provides excellent oxidative stability for crispier frying.
