About Pork cutlet

Pork cutlet is a popular dish that typically consists of a tenderized, breaded, and fried slice of pork. Its preparation varies across cuisines, with notable versions in Japanese (tonkatsu) and European (schnitzel) traditions. Made with pork loin or tenderloin, the cutlet is usually coated in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs before frying, giving it a crispy exterior and juicy interior. Nutritionally, pork cutlets are a rich source of protein, B vitamins, and minerals like zinc and selenium. However, the frying process also adds fat and calories, especially if deep-fried. Baking or air-frying offers healthier alternatives without sacrificing flavor. Pairing them with nutrient-dense sides like vegetables or whole grains can balance the meal. While delicious, pork cutlets are best enjoyed in moderation as part of a well-rounded diet.
