Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 2 boneless pork chops, trimmed of excess fat
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 egg
  • ½ teaspoon soy sauce
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup panko bread crumbs
  • oil for frying

Instructions

  • Place pork chops on a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Whisk egg and soy sauce together in a small bowl.
  • Place flour on a small plate and panko in another. Dredge a pork chop in the flour, pressing it in using your fingertips to cover all crevices along the surface. Turn to evenly coat all sides.
  • Dip the pork into the egg mixture, coating completely. Transfer immediately to the bowl of panko, pressing in to evenly coat. Repeat process with the second pork chop.
  • Heat oil in a wide pan or wok on medium-high heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lower a pork chop into the oil. Fry until bottom side is golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn; cook until other side turns golden and pork is slightly pink in the center, 2 to 3 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Pick up the cutlet and hold it on its side for a few seconds to let the oil drip off. Drain on a paper towel. Repeat with the second pork chop.
