Japanese: カツレツ - かつれつ(英語表記)cutlet
Cutlet - Katsuretsu (English spelling)

A Japanese-style Western dish made by deep-frying beef, pork, or chicken coated in breadcrumbs. Cutlet is a corrupted English word, cutlet. Cutlet comes from the French word côtelette, and originally meant pork, veal, or lamb loin meat on the bone, but it also means a dish in which the meat is coated in breadcrumbs and fried in butter. Cutlet is a Japanese adaptation of this cooking method, and appeared in the Meiji period. The use of a large amount of oil in Japan is thought to be a habit that was transferred from tempura. Depending on the meat used, it is called beef cutlet (beef cutlet), pork cutlet (pork cutlet, tonkatsu), chicken cutlet (chicken cutlet), etc. Also, depending on the part of the meat fried, it is called fillet cutlet or loin cutlet, kushikatsu when skewered, and minced meat cutlet or minced cutlet when made with minced meat.

Japanese:

牛肉、豚肉、鶏肉などにパン粉の衣をつけて油で揚げた日本的西洋料理。カツレツは英語のカットレットcutletがなまったものである。カットレットはフランス語のコートレットcôteletteに由来し、本来は豚、仔牛、羊のロースの骨付き肉のことであるが、この肉にパン粉の衣をつけてバターで焼く料理のこともいう。カツレツはこの調理法を日本風に変化させたもので、明治時代に登場した。日本で多量の油を用いるのは、てんぷらからの習慣が移行したものと思われる。用いる肉によってビーフカツレツ(ビーフカツ)、ポークカツレツ(ポークカツ、とんかつ)、チキンカツレツ(チキンカツ)などという。また、揚げる肉の部分により、ヒレカツ、ロースカツと称したり、串(くし)に刺したものは串カツ、ひき肉を使ったものはミンチカツあるいはメンチカツとよばれる。
