Steps
- 01
Pound four pork slices to about 3–6 mm thick, then season lightly with salt and pepper. Keep the raw-meat cutting board away from salad vegetables.
- 02
Lightly coat pork in flour, dip in three beaten eggs with a pinch of salt, then press both sides into breadcrumbs. Refrigerate while preparing sauce.
- 03
Shred, rinse and drain cabbage; refrigerate. Mix 1 cup mayonnaise, 1–2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp honey and 1 tbsp ketchup as the chilled salad dressing.
- 04
Melt 2 tbsp butter and stir in 100 g Hi-Rice gravy mix for about 2 minutes. Add 2½ cups water and 4 tbsp ketchup; simmer, stirring until thickened. Check the seasoning mix label and allergen instructions.
- 05
Heat oil safely in a deep pan to about 175°C/350°F. Fry uncrowded until golden on both sides, drain, and confirm the thickest center reaches 63°C/145°F followed by a 3-minute rest; egg coating must also be fully cooked.
- 06
Spoon warm gravy over rice, add sliced pork cutlet, and serve with chilled cabbage salad and dressing. Allow hot frying oil to cool completely before moving it.
Before you cook
Avoid hot-oil splashes and overfilling the pot. Pork loin needs 63°C/145°F plus a 3-minute rest. Separate raw-meat equipment from raw cabbage, check wheat, egg, milk and soy labels, and refrigerate leftovers promptly.
