Breaded pork cutlet, often referred to as schnitzel or tonkatsu depending on its cultural preparation, is a dish consisting of a thin slice of pork coated in seasoned breadcrumbs and fried to golden perfection. Originating from European and Japanese cuisines, its versatility has made it beloved worldwide. The pork is typically tenderized, dipped in flour, egg wash, and breadcrumbs, then shallow or deep-fried. While this dish is high in protein due to the pork, its breaded coating and frying method can contribute to higher fat and calorie content. Modern adaptations sometimes bake the cutlet as a lighter alternative. Traditionally served with sides like shredded cabbage, potatoes, or rice, the breaded pork cutlet offers a satisfying balance of textures. If consumed in moderation and paired with nutrient-rich accompaniments, it can fit into a well-rounded diet while providing a comforting, hearty meal.
