I'm so happy I don't keep kosher. Because if I did, how would I be able to eat all the wonderful pork products? Right, I would not.
When it comes to cooking pork, however, I've had my share of struggles. Finally, however, I have managed to cook a perfect pork tenderloin (idea 1, idea 2, idea 3). But those are pretty expensive. This time, I decided to experiment with Panko Crusted Pork.
Ingredients
flour seasoned with salt and pepper
1 egg, beaten
2/3 cup Panko crumbs
1/3 cup shredded Parmesan
2 boneless center cut porkchops (about 1 inch thick)
sunflower oil
Directions
1. Set up shallow wide bowls: first one with seasoned flour, the second one with the beaten egg, and the third with panko crumbs and Parmesan.
2. Pat your porkchops dry with a paper towel, then dip them into flour (both sides!) and shake off the excess flour.
3. Dip the chops into the egg mixture and then into the panko/Parmesan mixture.
4. Meanwhile, heat sunflower oil in a stainless steal pan (do no use non-stick).
5. Cook porkchops for 4 minutes on each side (do not feel tempted to move them around!!!). Let them rest for at least 5 minutes.
NOTE: the pork will still be slightly pink inside!
I was insanely pleased with how the pork came out! Juicy, flavorful, crispy on the outside!!! I served the porkchops on top of a lettuce/tomato/cucumber/red onion/cilantro salad.
If you have any other wonderful ideas for cooking boneless porkchops, please share them!

Your pork looks so juicy! Every tie I try to make pork it turns out so dry.
Fascinating and heavenly-crispy for my taste. A golden pork pleasure :)
Cheers,

Nothing better than some crispy pork chops, I bet it tastes great on top of the salad, looks delicious!
Yummy!
I like using panko then the regular bread crumb.
I love a good piece of pork! The problem is that over here it's really hard to find a good piece of pork-meat. The stuff they sell in the supermarkets is really terrible; dry and squaky when you eat it. I have to go Amsterdam to get a proper piece of porkmeat! But I will definitely be keeping this in mind for next time. Love crispy outsides!
I always always always brine my pork beofre cooking it. It makes all the differance in the world.
Talk about juicy and never dry!!!
I also love anything in panko! yum
I like to use fresh bread crumbs to coat the food before frying too...extra crisp and crunchy

This really looks delicious. This is very similar - sans the cheese of course - to Japanese tonkatsu. I'll bet this was good.
We LOVE these Stuffed Pork Chops. Make them all the time!

This looks so good... perfectly cooked pork with added crunch. And I love that it's the perfect amount for dinner for two!
I have an interesting recipe for pork chops with leeks and mustard sauce (from Bon Appetit) on my blog... it calls for bone-in but would be fine with boneless too.
I love eating pork and your pork looks really tasty. It looks crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside!
i love panko-crusted anything. seriously, crust my sneaker in panko and i'd probably eat it.
Panko is one of the our new fave finds. We haven't used it on pork yet, but it did a great job on chicken. Love it.
great salad I know not to have any food restrictions is a gift!
Looks delicious! So many people are afraid of pink pork that they dry it out...a shame.

Wow, love the addition of Parmesan cheese...I can almost taste it, yummie! Great pictures!

Reminds me of Japanese katsudon, something I haven't had in a long time.
Looks perfectly cooked and pink on the inside. Just how I like it, but other people get nervous with that.
