sweet & spicy pork chop

There are so many different pork chops out there. I think there's pork chop dish in every cuisine. This one is something I just came up with that turned out great. So I should record it down before I forget what I put in it. If you are craving Asian-flavored meat, I recommend this one. :)

Ingredients:

Pork chops - 4
Onion - 1 small (sliced) 

Garlic - 2 cloves
Ginger - 1 TBS

[Marinade]
Hoi Sin sauce - 1/2 cupSoy sauce - 2 TBS
Kojujyan (Korean chili paste) - 2 TBS
Brown sugar or Honey - 2 TBS
Salt & Pepper - 1 tsp each













Prep:

  1. Tenderize pork chops by using meat tenderizer or rolling pin or punching down. 
  2. Cut onion into slices. 
  3. Grate garlic and ginger. Squeeze out the juice in a bowl. Keep the pieces.
  4. In a ziplock bag, put pork, onion garlic/ginger, and marinade. Let it sit in the fridge for at least an hour. 

Before and after marinade (I split into two bags)

Cook:

  1. On a grill or frying pan, heat 2 TBS of oil. When it's hot, fry pork chops and onion slices. Fry for 3-4 minutes on medium heat. Don't discard ziplock bag with marinade. 
  2. Turn the meat and cook for another 3 minutes. 
  3. Meanwhile, combine 1/3 cup of water with the ziplock where pork was in. Pour the water mixture into the meat and 'steam' cook the pork chop for another 3-4 minutes, cover with lid or aluminum foil. Turn occasionally. 

 Serve:

  1. Take out the meat and let it sit for 5 minutes before cutting. Pour the sauce on top of sliced pork chops. 
  2. We had the pork chop with rice, miso soup and thin sliced cabbage salad & kimchee.
