CRISPY PORK CUTLETS | How to Get Tender Meat and a Crispy Crust

THIS RECIPE PRODUCES THE MOST ADDICTIVE, CRISPY PORK CUTLETS ANYWHERE! Marinating the pork in shio koji creates incredibly tender meat with a wonderful, slightly sweet umami flavor. The acidity from the tomatoes and dressing in the Summer salad balances the fat from the fried pork. This dish is simple and quick enough to prepare for a week night meal or great to entertaining guests on a Saturday night.

(taken from this Splendid Table article: https://tinyurl.com/y5hsldbq) Shio koji is a traditional use of koji, the ancient mold that gives us soy sauce, miso, fermented bean paste, and sake. It is made by combining rice koji (cooked rice that has been inoculated with koji spores and then dried), salt, and water and letting the mixture ferment for about a week, during which time it develops a sweet, fruity, slightly funky aroma. Shio koji is primarily used as a marinade. Because it is rich in protease enzymes (which break down proteins) and amylase enzymes (which break down starches), it can transform many foods.
