World Cuisine

Directions

Step 1

Place pork chops on a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Whisk egg and soy sauce together in a small bowl.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.
