This Taiwanese pork chop recipe has a great flavor using five-spice powder. If you can find sweet potato powder, use it instead of cornstarch. Serve this with plain white rice and a simple vegetable side.
Ingredients
- 4 (3/4 inch) thick bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ½ tablespoon white wine
- ½ tablespoon Chinese five-spice powder
- vegetable oil for frying
- cornstarch
Directions
Step 1
With a sharp knife, make several small slits near the edges of the pork chops to keep them from curling when fried.
Step 2
Combine soy sauce, garlic, sugar, white wine, and five-spice powder in a large resealable plastic bag. Place chops into the bag and seal tightly. Carefully massage chops until well coated with marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, turning the bag over every so often.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat enough vegetable oil to fill the skillet to a depth of about 1/2 inch. Remove chops from resealable bag without wiping off marinade. Lightly sprinkle cornstarch on both sides of the chops.
Step 4
Carefully add chops to skillet; cook, turning once, until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
Editor’s Note:
We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10 percent after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
