How to Make Asian Pork Cutlets 4 5 Pts Ww Australian

  1. In a shallow ceramic dish, whisk together 2 tablespoons plum sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon five-spice powder.
  2. Add 4 (4-ounce) pork cutlets to the dish, turning to ensure they are fully coated in the marinade.
  3. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to allow the pork to marinate.
  4. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  5. Line a baking dish with baking paper.
  6. Arrange the marinated pork cutlets in the prepared baking dish.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes, basting with the marinade every 10 minutes, until the pork is cooked through and golden brown. Internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F).
  8. While the pork is baking, steam 1 bunch of bok choy for 2 minutes, or until bright green and tender-crisp.
  9. Cook 2 cups of rice according to package directions.
  10. Serve the pork cutlets on plates with cooked rice and steamed bok choy.
  11. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the pork cutlets before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
