Breaded pork cutlets, also known as schnitzel in German or tonkatsu in Japanese cuisine, are a beloved dish originating in Europe and popular worldwide. This dish consists of tender pork cutlets that are pounded thin, coated in a mixture of flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs, then pan-fried or deep-fried until golden and crispy. Variations may include seasoning the breading with herbs or spices for added flavor. While breaded pork cutlets are high in protein and provide essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins, they can also be high in fat and calories, depending on cooking methods. Using lean pork cuts and baking instead of frying can make them a lighter option. Traditionally enjoyed with sides like potatoes, salads, or rice, they are a well-balanced meal when paired with vegetables and whole grains. Moderation and preparation methods are key to integrating this dish into a healthy lifestyle.
