Steps:
- Finely grate zest from one orange into a small bowl, then squeeze 1 cup juice from oranges. Stir in lime juice. Set aside.
- Season pork with salt and pepper, then press in flour to coat, shaking off excess. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high until shimmering. Add pork and cook until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Reduce heat to medium and add remaining tablespoon oil. Add onion, season with salt, and cook, scraping up browned bits, until crisp-tender, 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute, stirring.
- Add juices and zest and bring to a boil and cook until reduced by 1/4 about 3 minutes. Stir in 1 to 2 teaspoons sugar, if desired. Return pork to pan and simmer until sauce is slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
PORK CUTLETS
Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the egg white and water until it starts to foam. Stir in a teaspoon of dry mustard. Season cutlet with salt and pepper. Dip the cutlet in flour, then the egg mixture, coating thoroughly, and then in the breadcrumbs. Be sure that both sides are covered well. Set aside, or refrigerate, covered by a piece of waxed paper or plastic wrap.
- Heat the oil in a heavy frying pan until hot. Add the cutlet, lower the heat slightly, and cook for about 2 minutes. Turn with a spatula, and brown the other side. Continue cooking, turning once again if necessary, until the pork is cooked through, about 5 minutes in total. When done, the flesh will be white. Drain on a paper bag. Serve with a squeeze of lime.
- Serve with potato and leeks
PAN-SEARED PORK CHOPS WITH SWEET MUSTARD SAUCE
Steps:
- Mix together the salt, ginger, pepper, mustard and 1 teaspoon sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle the pork chops with the spice mix. Rub on both sides.
- Heat the butter and oil in large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the pork chops. Cook on one side until deep brown on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F, another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the pork chops to a plate to rest.
- Meanwhile, pour the ginger beer into a small skillet and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the mustard and the remaining 3 tablespoons sugar and let reduce until it is thickened and combined, about 5 minutes. Pour the sauce over the pork chops, then sprinkle with the parsley and serve!
TONKATSU (FRIED PORK CUTLET WITH SPICY SAUCE)
Another take on pork tonkatsu, this one with a recipe for the sauce, in case you don't have access to Bulldog Sauce. This one is from Susan Fuller Slack's "Japanese Cooking". Restaurants in Japan that specialize in tonkatsu are very popular. A serrated bread knife is the easiest way to shred the cabbage. If you don't care for raw cabbage, it can be lightly stir fried before mounding on plates.

Steps:
- Place pork cutlets between two sheets of parchment paper; using a meat mallet or a small, heavy skillet, pound to 1/8 inch thick. Season both sides of pork with salt and pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Working in two batches, add pork to pan, and cook, flipping once, until golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. (If pan becomes dry, add more oil.) Transfer to a platter.
- Drizzle lemon juice over pork, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Garnish with Parmesan curls and parsley. Serve with lemon wedges and mustard.
Tips:
- To ensure the pork cutlets cook evenly, they should be pounded to an even thickness before cooking.
- Dredging the pork cutlets in flour before searing helps to create a crispy crust.
- Searing the pork cutlets over medium-high heat helps to develop flavor and prevent them from drying out.
- The tangy pan sauce is made with a combination of lemon juice, white wine, chicken broth, and capers. To enhance the flavor of the sauce, deglaze the pan with the white wine before adding the other ingredients.
- Serve the pork cutlets immediately with the tangy pan sauce and your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
