Coat the cutlets in flour seasoned with salt and pepper. Then dip the cutlets in egg mixed with soy sauce, and finally coat them all over in panko breadcrumbs. Heat a frying pan with 1 cm of oil. Fry the cutlets for 3-4 minutes on both sides. Leave for a couple of minutes before slicing.

Then add flour and mix it well. Add soy sauce and chicken stock and let the sauce simmer at low heat for approx. 15 minutes.
