Step 1
Pound the 2 pork cutlets to 1/2-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Set up a breading station: place 1/2 cup flour, 1 beaten egg, and 1 cup panko in separate shallow bowls. Dredge each cutlet in flour, dip in egg, then press into panko until fully coated.
Step 3
Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry the cutlets until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. The crust should be crispy and the pork should feel firm to the touch.
Step 4
Serve the cutlets hot with 2 cups shredded cabbage and a dollop of 1 tsp wasabi paste on the side.
