Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pound pork cutlets between plastic wrap to 1/4-inch thick using a meat mallet or rolling pin.

  2. Step 2

    Set up three shallow bowls: flour in one, beaten egg in another, panko in the third. Season each cutlet with salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Coat each cutlet in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in egg, then dredge in panko, pressing gently to stick.

  4. Step 4

    Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  5. Step 5

    Fry cutlets 2–3 minutes per side without moving until golden brown and edges curl. Transfer to a plate.

  6. Step 6

    Lower heat to medium. Add gochujang and butter to the same skillet, stirring until melted and fragrant, about 60 seconds.

  7. Step 7

    Return cutlets to the skillet, turning to coat both sides in the glaze. Serve hot with pickled radish and rice.
