Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork cutlets
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Miso paste
• 2 tablespoons Mirin
• 1 teaspoon Stevia or erythritol sweetener
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 small (shredded) Cabbage
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Scallions
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

Prepare two shallow bowls: one for the almond flour and another for the beaten eggs.

Step 4

Dip each pork cutlet first into the egg, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly with almond flour.

Step 5

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Add the almond flour-coated pork cutlets to the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the cutlets for 10 minutes to ensure they are cooked through.

Step 8

While the pork is baking, prepare the miso sauce: In a small saucepan, combine miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, stevia or erythritol sweetener, and chicken broth.

Step 9

Heat the sauce over medium heat, stirring until all the ingredients are well combined and it slightly thickens. Remove from heat.

Step 10

Once the cutlets are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.

Step 11

Serve the cutlets on a plate, drizzle generously with the miso sauce.

Step 12

Garnish with shredded cabbage, chopped scallions, and sesame seeds.

Step 13

Serve immediately for a crispy and savory meal!
