Costeletas de porco empanadas e crocantes

Ingredientes

• 4 pork chops (- about 1/2 inch thick)
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce (or 1/2 tablespoon salt)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or calamansi juice)
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• vegetable oil (- for frying)

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Marinate pork chops in fish sauce, lemon juice, and pepper for at least 1 hour.

2. 2

   Place flour in a shallow bowl or plate. Whisk eggs in another shallow bowl. Put the breadcrumbs on a third plate.

3. 3

   Dredge a pork chop first in flour, covering both sides completely then shake off excess. Dip it next in egg mixture and lastly, coat it completely with breadcrumbs. Press one side of the chop to the breadcrumbs and then the other side to make sure it is completely and evenly covered. Do same to the rest of the pork chops.

4. 4

   Heat skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add enough oil to reach half of the sides of the pork chops. When the oil is hot enough, cook pork chops for about 6-8 minutes each, turning it once in between or until each side is golden brown and crispy.

5. 5

   Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve with your favorite side dish.
