Recipe 🍳
- Lightly remove the membrane from the surface of the pork loin and season with salt and pepper.
- Pound the meat with a meat mallet until it is about 5 times thinner and wider than its original size.
- Coat the thinly pounded pork loin evenly with flour, egg wash, and breadcrumbs in that order.
- Place the meat in oil preheated to 170-180°C and fry until crispy.
- To make the sauce, add butter and flour to a pan and stir-fry to create a brown roux.
- 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.
- Place shredded cabbage on a plate, then drizzle with 'ketchup-mayonnaise' sauce mixed with ketchup and mayonnaise.
- 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.
- Remove the membrane from the pork loin, pound it thin, then coat with flour, egg, and breadcrumbs.
- 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.
- 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.
