How to make it

6 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Place each pork loin chop between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound

    Place each pork loin chop between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet until very thin (about 0.5cm thick).

  2. Season both sides of the flattened pork generously

    Season both sides of the flattened pork generously with salt and black pepper.

  3. Prepare three shallow bowls

    Prepare three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

  4. Dredge each piece of pork first

    Dredge each piece of pork first in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the egg wash, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs, pressing down so they adhere well.

  5. Heat the lard or oil

    In a large skillet, heat the lard or oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the cutlets for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

    8 min

  6. Remove from the pan

    Remove from the pan and drain briefly on paper towels before serving.

A little kitchen wisdom

For the most authentic flavor, use lard for frying. Ensure the pork is pounded very thin to ensure quick, even cooking and a tender bite.
