Step 1
Pound the 2 pork cutlets to 1/2 inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Set up three shallow dishes: 0.5 cup flour, 2 beaten eggs, and 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs.
Step 3
Dredge each cutlet in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to coat. Set aside on a plate.
Step 4
Heat 0.5 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Fry the cutlets in the hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp rice vinegar for the dipping sauce.
Step 7
Serve the cutlets with the sauce and 2 cups green leaf lettuce on the side.
