Steps
- Make deep diagonal cuts on pork cutlet loin with a knife. Flip and make cuts in the same direction. [This is the key!] This helps tenderize the meat, allows flavors to penetrate better, and ensures even cooking.
- Cut thicker pieces of meat in half to make two portions. [This is the key!] This makes it easier to coat with batter and cooks more evenly.
- Use the firm part of your palm to pound the meat and tenderize it. Flip and pound both sides. [This is the key!] Even without a meat tenderizer, pounding with your hands will sufficiently soften the meat and make it juicy.
- In a bowl, mix 2 tsp soy sauce, 2 tsp oyster sauce, 1/2 tbsp cooking sake (rice wine), 1/2 tsp grated garlic, and 1/4 tsp curry powder. [This is the key!] Oyster sauce adds umami. The curry powder should be just enough to add a hint of aroma.
- Add the pounded pork to the bowl and mix well, ensuring both sides are coated with the blended seasonings. Rub the marinade into the cut areas.
- Let the pork marinate for a while.
- Prepare about 5 tbsp of potato starch in a separate shallow dish. [This is the key!] Using a clean dish for the starch, rather than the one used for marinating, ensures a crispier coating.
- Generously coat the marinated pork with potato starch, creating a protective layer to lock in the flavors.
- Add more potato starch, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated until no longer powdery.
- Lightly press the starch onto the meat to adhere it.
- In a frying pan, combine 3 tbsp vegetable oil and 3 tbsp sesame oil and heat them. [This is the key!] Blending vegetable oil and sesame oil creates a balance of aroma and crispiness.
- Once the oil reaches the right temperature, place the starch-coated pork into the frying pan and pan-fry.
- Flip the pork when it turns golden brown. Occasionally move the pieces to areas with more oil in the pan to ensure even crisping.
- Pan-fry the other side similarly, moving the pieces to areas with more oil as needed.
- Once fried, stand the pork pieces up to drain excess oil thoroughly.
- Cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Arrange on a plate.
- Finish with a sprinkle of pepper.
