Tips for the Best Pork Schnitzel:
- Thin and Even: Pounding the pork thinly and evenly is crucial for quick cooking and tenderness.
- Hot Oil: Ensure the oil is hot enough to create a crispy crust without overcooking the pork inside.
- Don’t Crowd the Pan: Fry in batches if needed to keep the schnitzel crispy.
Serving Suggestions:
- Traditional: Serve with German potato salad, sauerkraut, or spaetzle.
- Modern Twist: Pair with a crisp arugula salad and roasted vegetables.
- Sauces: A light drizzle of gravy, mushroom sauce, or creamy mustard sauce can add even more flavor.
Storage and Reheating:
- Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: To keep the schnitzel crispy, reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the breading soggy.
