Steps:
- Pound the pork chops with a meat mallet or heavy skillet until about 1/4 inch thick; season with salt and pepper. Put the flour in a shallow baking dish. Whisk the eggs, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a second dish. Put the panko in a third dish. Working with 1 chop at a time, coat in the flour and then dip in the egg, shaking off any excess; firmly press both sides in the panko.
- Heat about 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot (a breadcrumb should instantly sizzle in the oil). Working in batches, fry the chops, turning once, until browned and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; season with salt. (Add more oil to the skillet between batches if needed to maintain a thin layer.)
- While the chops cook, whisk the vinegar, miso, 2 teaspoons vegetable oil and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil in a large bowl until smooth. Add the greens, carrots and tomatoes and toss; season with salt and pepper. Serve with the pork chops.

PORK MILANESE
Years ago while we lived in New York, we watched Rachel Ray make chicken milanese and she said you could do it to pork too. I did not have her cookbook nor did i have a computer and all I could remember was parmesan and panko. So this was my punt on her recipe. Never did go beack and check that to see how close I was but since...

Steps:
- 1. If your pork chops are too thick then pound them a bit thinner so they will cook fast. Early in the day, I beat the milk with the eggs and added some Morton's and the fresh garlic. I then poured it over my pork chops with it, make sure each side gets some on it then cover and and let it sit in the fridge till time to cook. I turned it ever so often when i thought of it.
- 2. I then mixed about 2/3 box panko together with the grated parmesan and sprinkled in the Morton's and garlic powder. At this point you can add some herbs if you like and on occasion I will add in some parsley and thyme or basil.
- 3. I then coated the pork chops with the seasoned Panko and pushed it on, set it on a wire rack in single layer and let sit 10 minutes. Then I sautéed them in olive oil till golden brown. My family loved them.
- 4. Panko is Japanese bread crumbs, they are quite different from regular bread crumbs, and the end up with an incredibly crispy product. If you cannot find them in your area then the best bet is to take fresh bread and run it through your food processor but not real fine, spread it out on a cookie sheet and then place it in a 200 degree oven for a while till it is crispy but no color on it. This coating is great on chicken tenders too.
- 5. Don't use that dried up ground up old dirty sneaker cheese that ya sprinkle on pizza. Now I used "THE" parmesan cheese, the Reggiano one that is really a bit expensive to be shredding it into a coating. But it was what I had, just use a fresh grated one even if it is just Kraft.
Tips:
- To achieve the perfect crispy coating, ensure your pork cutlets are evenly pounded to a thickness of 1/4 inch. This will help them cook evenly and absorb the flavorful breading.
- Use a combination of panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese for the breading. Panko breadcrumbs add a light and airy texture, while Parmesan cheese provides a savory and nutty flavor.
- Season the breading mixture generously with salt, pepper, and dried oregano. These seasonings will enhance the flavor of the pork and create a delicious crust.
- Dip the pork cutlets in the beaten eggs, then coat them evenly in the seasoned breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Shallow-fry the pork cutlets in a large skillet with hot oil until golden brown and cooked through. Alternatively, you can bake them in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.
- Serve the pork Milanese with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad. You can also top it with a drizzle of lemon juice, grated Parmesan cheese, or a dollop of marinara sauce.
Conclusion:
Pork Milanese is a versatile and delicious dish that combines the flavors of Italy with the convenience of a quick and easy meal. With its crispy coating, juicy pork, and flavorful breading, it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give this classic Italian dish a try. Buon Appetito!
