Critical Success Points

  • Pounding pork to uniform thinness
  • Draining cucumbers for 30 minutes to remove excess moisture
  • Maintaining oil temperature around 350°F for a crisp, non‑greasy crust

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter – use a splatter guard and keep face away
  • Use tongs when turning cutlets to avoid burns
  • Ensure pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C)
  • Sharp knife – cut away from body
