Pork cutlets fried in a pan
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Pork cutlets are cooked in a skillet for 6-8 minutes up to 15-20, depending primarily on the thickness of the meat and the desired level of doneness. Pork must be thoroughly cooked, and the crust should be at least light golden. The dish is ready to serve.

Step 1
1. The first thing you need to do is thoroughly wash the meat under cold running water. Then pat it dry with a paper towel or let the water drain off completely. The dry meat should be cut into pieces of uniform thickness and lightly pounded with a meat mallet. Applying too much force may result in dry cutlets.

3. Salt can be added directly to the breadcrumb mixture or each piece of meat can be salted separately. Traditionally, cutlets are dipped into an egg mixture before being coated. To do this, simply beat 1 egg with a fork or whisk and dip each piece of meat into it. Pork cutlets can easily be prepared at home in a pan without using egg—just coat each piece in breadcrumbs.
