Pork Cutlets Deep Fried with Rice Japanese Style
Pork coated with panko crumbs cooked with dashi stock, mirin and Japanese soy sauce
Ingredients
4-6 cups of plain, cooked medium-grained rice
4 trim pork medallions (from the loin), about 100g each
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 egg, lightly beaten
seasoned flour - about 50g to coat the pork
panko crumbs - about 60-80g, again sufficient to coat the pork medallions
(Panko crumbs found in the Asian / International aisle of the Supermarket)
oil for deep frying
1 medium-sized onion, peeled
1/2 cup frozen green peas
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups dashi stock
2 1/2 Tablespoons mirin
2 1/2 Tablespoons sugar
5 Tablespoons Japanese soy sauce
Method
Prepare the pork medallions by making a small slash across the fatty edge at about 1.5cm intervals
Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and pass through the flour, dip in the egg and coat with the panko crumbs
Allow to rest in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes
Cut the onion in half lengthwise and cut into 2-3mm slices
Place the green peas in a colander and pour boiling water over them
Beat the eggs lightly in a bowl and set aside
Place the dashi stock, mirin, soy sauce and sugar in a saucepan and bring to the boil
Once it has come to the boil remove from the heat
Place the cooking broth and onion slices in the frying pan and bring to the boil
Cook until the onions are soft
Heat the oil in the frying pan (sufficient to come halfway up the crumbed medallion) to 180deg and cook the pork on one side until golden brown
Turn and cook until the other side is golden brown
Remove and drain the pork cutlets
Once cool enough to handle, cut into 1cm strips
Place the sliced pork cutlets over the onion mixture and return to the boil
Pour the beaten eggs over the cutlets and add the green peas
Quickly cover and cook for 10-15 seconds then remove from the heat and keep covered until the egg is about half cooked
Divide the rice among four deep individual serving bowls and ladle equal portions of the pork cutlet mixture over the rice
