Savory with just a hint of sweetness, this pork chop is one of my husband's favorites. It whips up in no time and served with a quickly stir-fried veggie and rice, it makes a complete meal in under 30 minutes. Ingredients:
4 pork chops or 4 pork tenderloin |
1 tablespoon soy sauce |
1 tablespoon rice wine |
2 teaspoons sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 dash pepper or 1 dash five-spice powder |
1 tablespoon minced garlic |
1 egg |
6 tablespoons cornstarch |
oil (for frying) |
Directions:
1. Tenderize meat pork with a meat mallet. If you're short on time, pound to at least 1/4 inch thickness or thinner.
2. Mix together all the ingredients except cornstarch and oil and pour over pork. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes. (I've marinated it as long as 1 day and as little as 10 minutes.).
3. Just before frying, pour cornstarch on top of pork and stir into marinade.
4. Heat enough oil in a large skillet to cover bottom. Place pork in pan when oil begins to shimmer. Cook pork chops over med-high heat until cooked through.
