Step 1
Pound pork cutlets between plastic wrap to 1/4-inch thick using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
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.
Step 3
Coat each cutlet in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in egg, then dredge in panko, pressing gently to stick.
Step 4
Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 5
Fry cutlets 2–3 minutes per side without moving until golden brown and edges curl. Transfer to a plate.
Step 6
Lower heat to medium. Add gochujang and butter to the same skillet, stirring until melted and fragrant, about 60 seconds.
Step 7
Return cutlets to the skillet, turning to coat both sides in the glaze. Serve hot with pickled radish and rice.
