Ingredients:

  • 8 2- ounce pork cutlets lightly pounded until 1/3-inch thick
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs beaten with 2 tablespoons of water

Instructions:

  • In three separate bowls, place the flour, lightly beaten eggs, and panko. Pat-dry the pork with a paper towel and season with a generous pinch of salt and ground black pepper.
  • Heat 1/2 inch oil in a large skillet until hot and shimmering. Dip the cutlets in the flour, shake well to remove the excess flour. Then dip them in the egg and then in the panko.
  • Fry the cutlets in batches over medium-high heat until crispy and golden on both sides, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Carefully transfer them on a plate lined with a paper towel. Sprinkle the cutlets with salt. Serve them hot with lemon wedges on the side.
