Instructions

  1. Pat pork dry with a paper towel. Once dried, sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside.
  2. Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine sugar-free ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, oyster sauce and sweetener. Mix then set aside.
  3. Get three mixing bowls or shallow bowls. Fill one mixing bowl with almond flour, the second bowl with beaten eggs, and the last bowl with crushed pork rinds. In this order, dip and coat each pork cutlet: almond flour > eggs > crushed pork rinds. Once coated, place on a holding plate.
  4. In a frying pan, add enough oil to cover about ½ inch from the bottom of the pan and heat up to 375F.
  5. On medium heat, fry 2-4 pork pieces at a time. Note: Cook time will depend on the thickness, but for the thin ones, it takes about 1-5 minutes and the thicker ones will be around 5-3 minutes each side. Flip pork cutlets and cook until internal temp reaches 145F and crust is golden brown.
  6. Transfer cooked pork cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
  7. Slice the pork cutlets into ½ inch slices and plate onto a bed of cabbage (1 cup per serving). Enjoy with drizzled sauce and optional squeeze of lemon!
