Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 1/2 inch thick each) Pork loin cutlets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 large, beaten Eggs
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons White miso paste
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Mirin
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons, chopped for garnish Green onion
- 1 tablespoon for garnish Toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Season the pork cutlets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Place the gluten-free flour, beaten eggs, and gluten-free panko breadcrumbs into three separate shallow bowls.
Dredge each pork cutlet in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are fully coated. Finally, press them into the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded cutlets. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the cutlets and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the miso paste, sugar, mirin, gluten-free soy sauce, and water. Whisk until smooth and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly thickened, then remove from heat.
Slice the fried pork cutlets and transfer to serving plates.
Drizzle the miso sauce generously over the cutlets.
Garnish with chopped green onion and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
