Cook the rice according to package instructions and set aside.
Ensure the rice is slightly sticky so it holds well in the nori.
Preheat the oil in a deep pan to 170°C for frying.
Make sure the oil is hot enough by testing with a small piece of breadcrumb.
Season the pork chops with soy sauce and sesame oil, then dredge in the flour, dip in the beaten egg, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.
Press the panko breadcrumbs onto the pork to ensure they stick well for a crispier texture.
Carefully fry the pork chops in the hot oil for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Fry the pork chops in batches if necessary, ensuring the oil temperature stays consistent.
Once fried, drain the pork chops on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Let the pork chops rest for a minute to allow the juices to redistribute.
Place a sheet of nori on a flat surface and spoon a portion of rice in the center.
Wet your hands lightly to prevent the rice from sticking to your fingers.
Place the fried pork chop on top of the rice and drizzle with tonkatsu sauce.
Ensure the pork chop is centered to make folding easier.
Fold the edges of the nori over the pork and rice to form a square-shaped onigirazu.
Press gently to make sure it holds its shape.
Serve the katsu onigirazu wrapped in the nori with the seam side down.
Serve immediately to maintain the crispy texture of the pork.
