Pound the Pork Chops:​

Place each pork chop between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper.

Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the pork chops to about 1/4 inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper.

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground ginger.

Dredge each pork chop in the flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat with the panko mixture, pressing to adhere.
