Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten egg, one with panko mixed with a pinch of salt.

  2. Step 2

    Coat each pork cutlet in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in egg, then press into panko until fully coated.

  3. Step 3

    Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Sear pork 2 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through; transfer to a plate.

  5. Step 5

    Add water and curry roux blocks to the same skillet; stir over medium heat until sauce thickens, ~3 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Stir in honey, return pork to the skillet to coat, and serve over rice.
