Air Fryer Pork Katsu

Let’s be real: From marking two years into a global pandemic to the conflict in Ukraine and the humanitarian catastrophe it’s created, there has been little room to muster the mental and emotional energy to care about my Instagram cooking account since 2022 started.

But in an effort to maintain a personal goal of mine to document recipes…if there’s anything I can offer here today for anyone who simply wants a 20 minute, hassle and mess free meal idea, take a look at the recipe I used this afternoon to feed my family below. Because life continues even though you’re not ready for it.
