  • 2 large eggs
  • 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 cups green leaf lettuce

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pound the 2 pork cutlets to 1/2 inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Set up three shallow dishes: 0.5 cup flour, 2 beaten eggs, and 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Dredge each cutlet in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to coat. Set aside on a plate.

    Heat 0.5 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Fry the cutlets in the hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp rice vinegar for the dipping sauce.

  7. 7

    Serve the cutlets with the sauce and 2 cups green leaf lettuce on the side.
