PK’s Asian Style Crumbed Pork Loin Cutlets
Just like my Crumbed Panko Chicken Breasts these crumbed eye of pork loin cutlets are so lite and easy. Simply throw some noodles or rice at it and serve with wasabi paste, Japanese Mayonnaise and Japanese Roasted Sesame Dressing.
Your guests will be blown away!

Takes about 20 minutes of preparation and cooking not including 30 minutes of refrigerating the cutlets after crumbing them.

- 1 plate for the panko crumbs
- 1 bowl for the whisked egg
- 1 whisk or fork

Preparing the pork eye of loin

PK’s Baked Chicken Sticks
As a kid one of my favourite meals was a large serve of Ingham’s Chicken Chippies, tomato sauce and a very very optional salad :).
The advert was hilarious:
I am not sure if you can still buy them but I would rather make my kids the home made equivalent anyway as you can control the ingredients. They loved them and I even got my toddler in there helping me make them :).
You will be:
- Prepping the ingredients.
- Dusting and coating the chicken sticks.
- Cooking the chicken sticks.
- Serving.
You will need:
- Ingredients:
- 1 chicken breast (slightly frozen making it easier to cut and shape into sticks)
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 Tbsp ground tumeric
- 1 to 2 eggs (if doubling the recipe you only need 3 eggs)
- ~1 cup Panko breadcrumbs to coat chicken strips
- 1/2 tsp beetroot powder (optional, just for looks)
- a sprinkle of ground paprika (optional, just for looks)
- ground black peppercorns to taste
- some spray olive oil
- Equipment:
- a chopping board
- a long sharp knife
- a fork or whisk to beat the egg
- a mixing bowl
- several plates
- an oven tray lined with baking paper
Steps:
Prepping the ingredients
- Take a still partially frozen chicken breast and flatten it out some what with your hands.
- Chop breast in to sticks (see how they look like chunky fries).

- In a large mixing bowl mix the 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 Tbsp ground tumeric and the 1/2 tsp beetroot powder (optional, just for looks).

- Whisk the 1 to 2 eggs in a bowl.
- Lay the panko crumbs out on a plate.

Dusting and coating the chicken stick
- Spray the baking paper lined oven tray with some spray oil.
- Roll each stick in the flour mix, dip in the egg and then coat with panko crumbs.
- Place them on the baking paper as you go.
- Sprinkle each stick with ground paprika (optional) and ground black peppercorns to taste.
- Give the top of the sticks a light spray with spray oil.
- Pop them into the fridge for 15 minutes or so to set.

Cooking the chicken sticks
Pop the tray into a fan-forced oven (preheated to 200C) for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Serving
They really just need your favourite dipping sauce and those optional greens I mentioned :).

Enjoy,
PK

PK’s Chicken Katsu Udon
Chicken Katsu Udon is an amazingly dish, light enough for both summer and winter. I love it and could eat it every day :).
This recipe will feed two adults for lunch. Add more noodles, chicken, vegetables, and broth, depending on your preferences, to bulk it up for dinner.
You will be:
- Preparing the chicken.
- Frying the onion toppings.
- Preparing the other vegetables.
- Cooking the noodle broth and crumbed chicken
- Serving.
You will need:
- Ingredients
- 1 large chicken breast, butterflied
- ground rock salt, to taste
- ground black pepper corns, to taste
- white flour, enough to coat the chicken breast
- panko bread crumbs, enough to coat the chicken breast
- 1 egg, beaten egg
- 1 brown onion, sliced
- 1 cup Asian greens e.g. bok choy leaves and stems
- 1 small handful torn coriander (cilantro) leaves
- 1 packet of soft Udon noodles
- 4 cups home-made chicken stock
- olive oil and/or chili oil, enough to cover the base of the pan to half the depth of the chicken breast and a splash for frying the onions
- Equipment
- several chopping boards
- a long sharp knife
- a rolling pin or meat tenderiser
- two large plates
- one medium sized bowl for coating the chicken breasts
- a medium sized saucepan for the broth and noodles
- a deep frypan for shallow frying the crumbed chicken
- paper towel to absorb excess oil
- deep bowls for serving
- tongs for cooking the chicken in the oil
- tongs for adding the hot noodles to the serving bowls
Steps:
Prepare the chicken

Steps:
- Take your chicken breast and butterfly it. I completely separate the halves at this stage, place them on a chopping board and bash the stuffing out of them using a rolling pin. This makes them really tender and easier to cook through without burning the outside crumb coating. This dish also works really well with chicken tenderloins (these are the pectoralis minor of a chicken and they don’t need tenderising).
- Salt and pepper them to taste and then successively coat them in flour, dip them in the egg and roll them in the panko crumbs.
- Refrigerate them for 30 minutes or as long as it takes you to prepare the rest of the dish.
Fry the onions
Steps:
- Thinly slice the 1 brown onion.
- Heat the oil in your deep fry pan.
- Add the onions and crisp them up, moving them continuously.
- Pop them into the fridge after soaking up excess oil with paper towel.
- Clean the fry pan with some paper towel so you get rid of any burnt onion bits.

Prepare the vegetables

Steps:
- Roughly chop your Asian greens and other vegetables of choice. No need to cook the greens as they will quickly steam as you add them to the hot broth at serving time.
- Tear the coriander leaves to make a nice garnish.
- Hot Tip – Bring the crumbed chicken breasts out of the fridge at this point and allow them to return to room temperature. This will allow you to cook them golden brown on the outside and avoid a raw center.
Cook the noodle broth and crumbed chicken

You are going to have to keep an eye on two processes here. Sorry 🙂
Steps:
- Add the stock and noodles to the saucepan.
- Heat the oil in the deep frypan so it is lightly bubbling.
- While you are lightly frying the chicken, slowly bring the noodle broth to the boil.
- When golden brown on both sides, remove the chicken from the oil and pat dry with paper towel.
- Slice the chicken.
The panko crumbs are so light that I prefer a longer slower fry:
Cooking the noodles in the broth as it comes to the boil:

The sliced chicken:

Serving
Steps:
- Add the desired amount of noodles to each bowl using tongs.
- Add the desired amount of greens and vegetables to each bowl.
- Pour in the desired amount of broth to each bowl.
- Top with some of the torn coriander and the fried onions.

Happy slurping,
PK
