Before You Cook

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using antibiotic free chicken breasts or chicken breasts, pat dry. Cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Thinly slice mushrooms.

    Trim and thinly slice green onions, keeping white and green portions separate.

    Pat pork dry and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    Place a small pot over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add mushrooms, white portions of green onions, and a pinch of salt to hot pot. Stir occasionally until tender and browned, 4-5 minutes.

    Add rice, 1 1/4 cups water, 1/4 tsp. salt, and miso base. Bring to a boil. If you receive Seasoned Wild Rice, omit additional salt and use half the miso base.

    Once boiling, reduce to a simmer.

    Once simmering, cover and cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

    If you receive Seasoned Wild Rice, once boiling, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender, 20-23 minutes.

    Remove from burner and set aside covered.

    While rice cooks, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Pork

    Combine mayonnaise and 2 tsp. water in a mixing bowl. Set aside.

    Place panko on a plate and spread into an even layer.

    Cover pork with plastic wrap and pound with a heavy object to an even 1/4" thickness.

    Remove plastic wrap. Transfer pork to a plate and spread mayonnaise-water mixture on pork, coating completely. Transfer to plate with panko, flipping until coated, pressing gently to adhere to both sides.

  4. 4

    Cook the Pork

    Line a plate with a paper towel. Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 3 Tbsp. olive oil. Let oil heat, 5 minutes.

    After 5 minutes, test oil temperature by adding a pinch of panko to it. It should sizzle gently. If it browns immediately, turn heat down and let oil cool. If it doesn't brown, increase heat.

    Lay pork away from you in hot oil and flip every 1-2 minutes until golden-brown and pork reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 5-7 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Transfer pork to towel-lined plate. Rest, 3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Warm Sauce and Finish Dish

    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine katsu sauce and 2 tsp. water. Cover with a paper towel. Microwave covered until warm, 30-60 seconds.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, slicing pork into 3/4" strips, if desired. Top pork with katsu sauce, green portions of green onions, and hot sauce (to taste). Bon appétit!
