Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork cutlets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons White miso paste
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Granulated erythritol
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Scallions, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork cutlets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine almond flour and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly.

Step 4

Dip each pork cutlet into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat in the almond flour and Parmesan mixture, pressing the flour mixture onto the cutlet to adhere.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Fry the coated pork cutlets in the hot oil for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and erythritol to make the miso sauce.

Step 8

Serve each crispy cutlet warm, drizzled with the miso sauce, and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions.
