Cooking Steps
• Drain the sweetcorn. Roughly chop baby spinach leaves. • Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook sweetcorn until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. • In a shallow bowl, combine the plain flour and seasoning blend (see ingredients). In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In a third shallow bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs and mixed sesame seeds.
• Pull apart pork schnitzels so you get 2 per person. Dip pork into flour mixture, then the egg and finally in breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate. • Return frying pan to high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base. Fry pork schnitzel in batches until golden and cooked through, 2-3 minutes each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Wipe out and return frying pan to medium-high heat. Cook katsu paste and the water, stirring, until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. • Add the brown sugar and butter and stir to combine. • Meanwhile, to the bowl with the corn, add shredded cabbage mix, baby spinach leaves, Japanese dressing, the sesame oil and a drizzle of rice wine vinegar. • Toss to combine and season to taste.
• Slice crumbed pork. • Divide sesame pork schnitzel and charred corn slaw between plates. • Drizzle katsu sauce over schnitzel to serve. Enjoy!
