Dredge each slice in flour, coating evenly.

Dip floured pork in beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Fry pork slices in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Transfer fried pork to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve with lemon wedges, alongside boiled potatoes and sautéed cabbage.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
