Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork loin cutlets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg, beaten
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Miso paste
- 2 tablespoons Tamari or soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Mirin (sugar-free)
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
Instructions
Season the pork loin cutlets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Prepare three bowls for breading: one with all-purpose flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
Dredge each cutlet in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip in the beaten egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs onto the cutlets to ensure they adhere well.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded cutlets to the oil.
Fry the cutlets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
While the cutlets are frying, prepare the miso sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine miso paste, tamari, rice vinegar, sugar-free mirin, water, and grated ginger.
Stir the sauce mixture until smooth and slightly simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
To serve, slice each cutlet into strips and drizzle with the warm miso sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or shredded cabbage for a complete meal.
