Ingredients

  • Boneless Pork Cutlet 1/2-1 inch thick each
  • Almond Flour
  • Egg
  • Crushed Pork Rind
  • Salt and Pepper To taste
  • Coconut or Avocado Oil For keto-friendly frying

Instructions

  • Generously season the pork cutlet with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Prepare the almond flour, egg, and crushed pork rind on separate plates and heat oil enough to shallow fry the pork cutlet.
  • Coat the seasoned pork cutlet with almond flour, dip in egg, then coat with pork rind.
  • Place the breaded pork cutlet in the hot oil (340F) and shallow fry it for 2-3 minutes per side until both sides are golden brown.
  • Place cooked pork cutlet in a cooling rack so both sides remain crispy and clean out the remaining crumbs in the oil before the next batch of frying to keep the remains from burning.
  • Serve with rice, shredded cabbage salad, katsu sauce, and enjoy!
