Pork Chop Schnitzel
This is a great way to cook pork. Keeping the meat on the bone, coupled with the intense heat from frying retains all the juices of the pork. As with "Pork Katsu", "Panko" breadcrumbs are used to achieve that satisfyingly crispy and crunchy exterior. The Pork Chop Schnitzel combines perfectly with potato salads, fermented cabbage, creamy sauces, and even different types of salsas! No matter the combination, it is a great protein option for a main course!
