Place each pork loin cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet to pound them to about 1/4 inch thickness. Season lightly with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper on both sides.
Set up a breading station: Place flour in one shallow dish, whisk together eggs and milk in a second dish, and mix breadcrumbs, paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper in a third dish.
Dredge each pork cutlet in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Set aside on a plate to rest.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once shimmering, fry each schnitzel for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and keep warm.
Prepare the noodles: Cook egg noodles in salted boiling water according to package instructions. Drain and toss with 2 tablespoons of butter. Set aside and keep warm.
For the browned cabbage, finely shred the cabbage and thinly slice the onion. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes until softened.
Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and toss to coat. Cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is caramelized and tender. Mix in apple cider vinegar, sugar, and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Plate the dish by serving a portion of noodles alongside browned cabbage and top with a crispy pork schnitzel. Serve immediately and enjoy!
