Place @jasmine rice{1%cup} and @water{1½%cups} in a #small pot{}. Add a pinch of @salt{}. Cover and bring to a boil, then lower heat and reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook until tender, ~{15%minutes}. Keep covered off heat until the meal is ready.

Meanwhile, place @panko breadcrumbs{1%cup} on a plate. Pat @pork cutlets{24%ounce} dry with a paper towel, then season all over with salt and @pepper{}. Brush evenly with @sour cream{4%tablespoon}. Dip pork one piece at a time into the panko, flipping to coat and pressing to adhere.

Heat a thin layer of @vegetable oil{4%tablespoon} in a #large pan{} over high heat (we used 2 TBSP; use a nonstick pan if you have one). Add the half of pork to the pan and cook until the panko is golden brown and crisp, ~{3%minutes} per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and set aside. Repeat with the remaining pork. TIP: Add more oil if the pan seems dry after the first batch.

Wash and dry all produce. Slice @Persian cucumber{6%unit} into thin rounds. Trim, then thinly slice @scallions{4%unit}, keeping greens and whites separate. Toss together cucumbers, @sesame oil{2%tablespoon}, scallion whites, all of the sesame seeds, @white wine vinegar{5%teaspoon}, @sugar{2%teaspoon}, and a large pinch of salt in a #medium bowl{}.

Mix together @hoisin sauce{4%tablespoon}, @garlic powder{2%teaspoon}, @ketchup{4%tablespoon}, and @soy sauce{4%teaspoon} in a #small bowl{}, stirring until thoroughly combined.

Slice pork into strips. Divide rice and cucumbers between plates, then arrange the pork on top of rice. Drizzle with sauce. Sprinkle with scallion greens and remaining sesame seeds.
