Recipe 🍳

  1. Lightly remove the membrane from the surface of the pork loin and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Pound the meat with a meat mallet until it is about 5 times thinner and wider than its original size.
  3. Coat the thinly pounded pork loin evenly with flour, egg wash, and breadcrumbs in that order.
  4. Place the meat in oil preheated to 170-180°C and fry until crispy.
  5. To make the sauce, add butter and flour to a pan and stir-fry to create a brown roux.
  6. Add water, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and sugar to the stir-fried roux, and cook while mixing well to prevent lumps, completing the sauce.
  7. Place shredded cabbage on a plate, then drizzle with 'ketchup-mayonnaise' sauce mixed with ketchup and mayonnaise.
  8. Arrange the fried pork cutlet, rice, corn, and cubed kimchi on a plate, and generously pour the warm homemade sauce over the pork cutlet to finish.
  1. Remove the membrane from the pork loin, pound it thin, then coat with flour, egg, and breadcrumbs.
  2. Fry the meat until crispy, then stir-fry butter and flour in a pan, and mix with milk, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce to make the sauce.
  3. Plate the pork cutlet and garnishes, then pour the homemade sauce over it to complete.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Pounding the meat sufficiently thin is key to achieving the tender, non-chewy texture characteristic of Western-style cutlets.
  • Sufficiently stir-frying the butter and flour until brown will deepen the flavor of the sauce.
  • When adding the seasonings and boiling, whisking quickly with a whisk will help the roux dissolve smoothly without clumping.
