Miso Ginger Pork Cutlets

From my last visit to the Pork Butcher, I bought a pork shoulder roast that I was going to cook in a crock pot but later on changed my mind. See, I bought a bottle of Miso dressing that I thought would be a great use for marinating. So I sliced part of the shoulder roast in cutlets and marinated them in a miso-ginger marinade that I mixed with other ingredients.

First, peel and mince the ginger. I used my Magic Bullet Pro but a blender is good too.

Mix the ginger with the miso, soy sauce, honey and red pepper flakes.

Pour the marinate into the pork cutlets. Stir to make sure the meat absorbs the marinade. Close the container and store in the fridge for 3-4 hours or over night.

When ready to cook, line a sheet pan with foil. Place the pork cutlets on the pan and stick it in the preheated oven (355°) for about 15-20 minutes or shorter. Make sure to check so the cutlets don’t burn especially if you sliced them really thin.

If we had gas in our grill, I would’ve skewered the cutlets and grilled them 6-8 minutes on each side. So yes, come summer time, this miso ginger pork cutlets would be a good skewered dish for everyone to enjoy during BBQ parties.
