Make
- Cook cabbage by heating a saute pan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add butter (portion for the cabbage) and then garlic and apples to melted butter. Saute for ~2 minutes before adding cabbage with a pinch of salt. Saute for another 14 to 16 minutes, until cabbage is tender.
- While cabbage is cooking, dip each pork cutlet into flour, then egg mixture, and finally breadcrumb mixture. Repeat until all cutlets are breaded.
- Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. Add oil and then cutlets to heated oil (do this in batches and / or add some additional oil as needed). Cook for 2-1/2 to 3 minutes on each side, transferring to a plate when cooked through.
- If noodles were made ahead, reheat in the microwave and toss with butter (portion for the noodles). Season with some salt.
- Stir vinegar and maple syrup into finished cabbage and season with some salt.
- Serve pork with noodles, cabbage, and creamy Dijon sauce. Squeeze lemon wedges over everything. Enjoy!
