This dish is a twist on the classic Italian Milanese, but with an Asian-inspired flair. Thinly sliced pork is coated in a sesame seed crust and quickly pan-fried until crispy and golden. It’s then served with a bed of mixed greens with a tangy and slightly sweet dressing. This dish is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner or a special occasion meal. Let’s dig in!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 boneless pork chops, pounded thin
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup sesame seeds
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 6 cups mixed greens
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. In a shallow bowl, season the flour with salt and pepper. In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs. In a third shallow bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs and sesame seeds.
  3. Dredge each pork chop in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the pork chops in the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through.
  6. While the pork is cooking, make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, honey, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
  7. To serve, divide the mixed greens between four plates. Top each plate with a pork chop and drizzle with the dressing.

Notes

For best results, make sure to pound the pork chops thin and evenly for cooking. Also, be sure to use an oven-safe skillet to avoid transferring the pork to another dish for baking. The dressing can be adjusted to taste by adding more honey or soy sauce. Finally, serve this dish immediately and while the pork is piping hot!
