Prepare the Pork Cutlets
1. Tenderize the Pork
Place the pork cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the cutlets to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.
2. Season the Pork
Season both sides of the pork cutlets with salt and pepper to taste.

In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
6. Fry the Cutlets
