Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork cutlets
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons plant-based milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
1. Prepare the pork cutlets by pounding them with a meat tenderizer until they are about 1/4 inch thick. This ensures they cook evenly and remain tender.
Step 2
2. In a shallow dish, mix the all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.
Step 3
3. In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the plant-based milk to create an egg wash.
Step 4
4. In a third shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs with the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and the paprika.
Step 5
5. Dredge each pork cutlet in the flour mixture, ensuring both sides are lightly coated. Shake off the excess.
Step 6
6. Dip the floured pork cutlet into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 7
7. Finally, press the cutlets into the breadcrumb mixture, making sure both sides are well-coated and pat down to adhere the crumbs.
Step 8
8. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 0.25 inches deep.
Step 9
9. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded pork cutlets into the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Step 10
10. Transfer the cooked schnitzels to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 11
11. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the schnitzel. Enjoy!
