If the cutlets are too tough, you won’t be able to fully enjoy this dish.
Therefore, it is worth knowing about the most common mistakes that spoil cutlets.
Why does the meat dish turn out tough?
Low quality meat
Some people buy special cutlet meat, which is a little cheaper. However, such a product often has streaks.
It is impossible to make tender cutlets from such meat.
Therefore, it is worth paying attention to higher quality options.
Chicken eggs
Many cooks cook cutlets without eggs, finding a worthy replacement for them. Chefs have noticed that when frying, chicken protein gives the meat an unpleasant toughness.
Therefore, eggs can be replaced with starch, grated potatoes, rice, oatmeal and other products.
Lack of fat
The presence of at least a small amount of fatty components will allow you to cook juicy cutlets of sufficient softness.
You can add a little lard or butter to the minced meat.
