Cooking method
-
Step 1:
The ingredients you'll need.
-
Step 2:
Cut the pork across the grain, as you would for chops.
-
Step 3:
Put it in a bag and pound it on both sides.
-
Step 4:
I really like pounding meat inside a bag — it's very handy and keeps the kitchen much cleaner.
-
Step 5:
Season the pounded meat with salt and pepper. I usually lay the pieces out in layers, sprinkling each layer lightly with salt and pepper.
-
Step 6:
Now let's make the batter. A note about the sparkling water: put it in the freezer about half an hour ahead so it's chilled to the point of forming ice crystals.
-
Step 7:
Crack the eggs into the bowl you'll use for the batter and add a little salt.
-
Step 8:
Add the flour.
-
Step 9:
Stir.
-
Step 10:
Pour in the chilled sparkling water. Add it a little at a time and watch the batter's thickness — it should have the consistency of sour cream. I've listed the amounts of flour and water I used today, but again, go by the thickness of your batter; you may need a little more or less flour and water.
-
Step 11:
Dip the meat into the batter.
-
Step 12:
Fry in a preheated skillet with vegetable oil over medium heat until golden.
-
Step 13:
Flip and finish frying on the other side.
-
Step 14:
Look how beautiful and delicious it turned out!
-
Step 15:
Any side dish works with this — I'm having rice today. Enjoy!
- You really have to try making this easy dish to see for yourself just how delicious it is!
