Step 1
Slice pork into 4 thin cutlets (~0.5 inches). Pound between plastic wrap until 0.25 inch thick.
Step 2
Toss cabbage with gochujang, rice vinegar, salt, and pepper. Set aside to soften, ~5 minutes.
Step 3
Set up breading station: flour in one shallow bowl, beaten eggs in another, panko in a third.
Step 4
Coat each pork cutlet in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg, then press into panko, coating both sides.
Step 5
Heat neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers. Fry cutlets 3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6
Divide slaw between plates. Top with a cutlet, drizzle pan juices, and garnish with sesame seeds. Serve hot.
