PANKO-CRUSTED PORK CUTLET WITH CUCUMBER-DAIKON RELISH

Steps:

• For the dressing: Wisk together the rice wine vinegar, fish sauce and brown sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
• For the relish: Combine the mint, daikon, scallion, cucumber, garlic, chile and cilantro in a medium bowl. Pour the dressing on top and stir together. Let rest while cooking the pork chops.
• For the pork chops: Place the flour and some salt in one bowl, eggs in another, and the panko and coconut in another. Dredge the pork chops in the flour, then the egg, and then the panko mixture. Repeat with other pork chop.
• Heat some olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. When hot, fry the pork chops until golden brown on both sides and 145 degrees F at the center, 7 to 10 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and rest for about 5 minutes.
• Serve the pork chops alongside the relish.

TUNA POKE WITH WONTON CHIPS

Steps:

• Place a medium bowl in the refrigerator. Heat 2 to 3 inches of vegetable oil in a small saucepan to 350 degrees F. Fry the wonton wrappers in batches over medium-high heat, until golden brown and crisp, 15 to 20 seconds on each side. Remove the wonton chips with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack set over paper towels; sprinkle with salt. Set aside.
• Place the hot water in a small heatproof bowl, sprinkle in the seaweed and let it reconstitute, about 5 minutes. Rinse the seaweed under cold water. When cool enough to handle, squeeze out the excess water with your hands and let drain in a fine-mesh sieve.
• Meanwhile, cut the tuna into tidy 1/2-inch (12-millimeter) cubes and transfer to the chilled bowl to keep the raw fish cold. Add the seaweed, onion, sesame oil, chile flakes and soy sauce. Fold very gently with a large spoon, like you're folding egg whites, until the tuna poke is well combined.
• Top each wonton chip with about 2 tablespoons of the tuna poke. Garnish with the sesame seeds and scallions and serve right away.
