Crispy Breaded Porkchop with Coleslaw Recipe

Breaded pork chops are a staple in many Filipino homes—a symbol of simplicity, warmth, and family gatherings. The scent alone as it sizzles in the pan brings you back to comforting moments around the table.

Lola had her secret to making them extra malasa: a pinch of Magic Sarap. That seasoning turned a simple chop into something truly special—and today, we’re passing that trick along to you.

This Simpol recipe uses everyday ingredients, grouped to make cooking smoother. Paired with a refreshing coleslaw, this meal is crispy, creamy, and full of flavor.

Serve it with rice or even on its own—Simpol lang, but sure to impress!

Ingredients

Set A – Seasoning the Meat:

• 8 pieces pork chops

• 1 sachet Maggi Magic Sarap

Set B – Breading Station:

• 1 cup flour

• Salt & pepper

• 2 eggs, beaten

• 1 1/2 cups Good Life breadcrumbs

Set C – For Frying:

• Cooking oil

Instructions

Set A – Season:

• Pat pork chops dry.

• Season both sides with Magic Sarap. Let sit for 10 minutes.

Simpol Tip: Letting it rest helps the flavors seep into the meat.

Set B – Bread:

1. Prepare three bowls:

   • One with flour seasoned with salt and pepper

   • One with beaten eggs

   • One with Good Life breadcrumbs

2. Dredge each pork chop in the seasoned flour, dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.

3. Press gently to help the coating stick.
   Simpol Tip: Use cold breadcrumbs for extra crunch.

Set C – Fry:

1. Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium heat.

2. Fry pork chops for 3–4 minutes per side or until golden and cooked through.

3. Drain on paper towels before serving.

Simpol Cooking Notes:
The use of Magic Sarap boosts flavor in a Simpol, foolproof way. Seasoning the flour adds another layer of taste that clings to the pork while frying. Each bite is crunchy outside, juicy inside—just the way it should be.

Store extras in the fridge and reheat using an oven or air fryer. You can even slice the chops and toss them over fried rice or in a sandwich for another Simpol meal.

SIDE RECIPE: CREAMY COLESLAW
A cool, creamy contrast to crunchy pork—this coleslaw is simple, refreshing, and Simpol!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise

• 4 tsp pickle relish

• Salt and pepper to taste

Set B – Vegetable Mix:

Instructions

Set B – Mix Coleslaw:

Simpol Tip: Salting and squeezing the cabbage keeps your coleslaw from getting watery—great for leftovers!
