Pork Chops

One of Charlie's friends had a birthday and they worked out that he could come over here with a few friends.  There were only three more and I thought I could make them pork chops for dinner but when a few more showed up, I made hamburgers and hot dogs instead.  We had the pork chops today instead.

• DIRECTIONS:

Step 1

To flatten each pork chop: working from center, gently pound pork with flat side of meat mallet or cleaver until about 1/4 inch thick. This will help the marinade to penetrate and cook evenly when frying.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix and pork with all the marinade ingredients. Set aside for 2 hours.

Step 3

Coat the marinated pork with egg and cornstarch mixture.

Step 3-1

Coat each pork chop thoroughly with panko bread crumbs.

Step 4

In a frying pan with heated oil, deep-fry the pork chops at 300-350℉/150-180℃ at a time, 2 to 3 minutes on the first side. Flip and cook until the chops are golden brown on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes (make sure no pink juices remain).

Step 5

In a large skillet, add butter and minced garlic, cook for 15-20 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the rest of the sauce ingredients and cook for 2~3 minutes until thicken. This will be the dipping sauce for the fried pork chops.

Step 6

Optional: make the pickled radish as a side dish. In a large bowl, mix the radish, white vinegar, sugar, salt, lemon juice, dried apricots, and set aside for 2 hours. Serve hot.
