Crispy Eggplant 'Katsu'

This is heavily inspired by my love for Japanese Tonkatsu, that are breaded and fried pork cutlets usually enjoyed with a side of shredded cabbage and steamed rice, with the classic tonkatsu sauce. I also love Katsu Curry from with slices of the fried pork cutlet and enjoyed with a rich Japanese-style curry, rice, and some pickled vegetable.
