SESAME-CRUSTED PORK CUTLETS WITH CABBAGE



Sesame-Crusted Pork Cutlets With Cabbage image

Do you ever wish that the crackly outside of your fried cutlet tasted like - anything? Instead of throwing a bunch of garlic or even Cheetos into the coating, swap bread crumbs for a something that's probably already in your pantry. By crusting your pounded-thin pork with crushed sesame seeds and shallow-frying for just a few minutes, each bite of juicy pork has a snap and crackle racing through, in addition to deep sesame flavor. To cut through the richness, take a cue from pork tonkatsu and serve these with extra-crisp wisps of cabbage and lemon. With such a minimalist ingredient list and process, you might think you need to add a thing or two, but everything you need is right here.

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, weekday, steaks and chops, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 cups finely shredded green cabbage
1 1/4 cups white sesame seeds
6 (5-ounce) slices boneless pork loin or boneless pork chops
Kosher salt
1½ to 2½ cups canola, vegetable or peanut oil
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Submerge the cabbage in a large bowl of ice water to crisp while you make the pork.
  • Place the sesame seeds in a large resealable plastic bag and pound using a rolling pin or skillet until coarsely crushed (alternatively, you can use a mortar and pestle). Transfer to a lipped plate or shallow bowl.
  • Working with one piece at a time, put the pork in another resealable plastic bag and pound using a rolling pin or skillet until it is 1/4-inch thick (don't skimp on this step; it's important that the pieces are thin). Transfer to a plate, salt lightly on both sides, then repeat until all pieces have been cooked.
  • Dredge the pork cutlets fully in the crushed sesame seeds.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high, heat 1/3 inch of oil until shimmering. Gently lay the cutlets in the pan, working in batches as necessary. Fry until golden brown on one side, 1 to 2 minutes, then flip and continue to cook until golden brown and cooked through, another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat until all pieces have been cooked.
  • Drain and dry the cabbage thoroughly (a salad spinner works well here). Serve each cutlet with a pile of cabbage, a squeeze of lemon over everything and more lemon wedges on the side. Season with salt to taste and serve at once.

SESAME PORK ROAST



Sesame Pork Roast image

My trick to making a tasty roast that's pull-apart tender is marinating a boneless cut of pork in a tangy sauce overnight before cooking it slowly the next day. It's unbeatable. -Sue Brown, San Miguel, California

HONEY SESAME PORK TENDERLOIN



Honey Sesame Pork Tenderloin image

We love this variation of pork tenderloin. It's excellent served over rice. Delicious! The prep time does not include marinating, which is 2 hours. Enjoy!

Provided by LifeIsGood

Categories     Pork

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb whole pork tenderloin
1/2 cup soy sauce (I recommend using low-sodium soy sauce)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
4 tablespoons sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Combine soy sauce, ginger, garlic and sesame oil.
  • Place tenderloin in a resealable plastic food storage bag and pour the soy sauce mixture into it.
  • Marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator. **I do not recommend marinating this any longer than 2 hours - as the pork will become too salty tasting**.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Remove pork from marinade and pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Mix honey and brown sugar on a plate. (You could use a whisk if you're having trouble mixing these ingredients.).
  • Place sesame seeds on another plate.
  • Roll pork in honey mixture and then roll in the sesame seeds.
  • Roast in a shallow pan for 20 to 30 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160 degrees.
  • Suggested to serve over rice.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork tenderloin is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius) for medium-rare, or 160 degrees Fahrenheit (71 degrees Celsius) for medium.
  • To make the sesame crust extra crispy, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
  • If you don't have a grill pan, you can cook the pork tenderloin in a regular skillet over medium-high heat. Just be sure to sear it on all sides for even cooking.
  • Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

This sesame-crusted pork tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The pork is tender and juicy, and the sesame crust adds a wonderful flavor and texture. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a meal that your family and friends will love.
