Recipe Disaster?
Chef's Notes
Do not skip the wire rack when draining your pork! If you place it directly on paper towels, the steam will trap underneath and make your gorgeous panko crust soggy. A royal tragedy of the highest order.
Pro Tip
For an even crispier crunch, freeze your breaded pork cutlets for 15 minutes before dropping them into the hot oil. The temperature shock locks in the juices and creates a shattering crust.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
The most common disaster is turning the heat up too high, which burns the panko to a bitter char while leaving the center of the pork raw enough to oink.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the pork chop blush? Because it saw the buttermilk coming and knew it was about to get soaked.
The Culinary Science
The Maillard reaction occurs when amino acids and reducing sugars in the breadcrumbs and meat brown under high heat, creating hundreds of new flavor compounds that make fried food irresistibly savory.
