Double Crunch Honey Garlic Pork Chops

Ingredients

  • Sprice Mix:
  • 6 center loin pork chops, well trimmed
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 tsps. salt
  • 2 tsps. black pepper
  • 1 1/2 Tbsps. ground ginger
  • 1 Tbsp. ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp. ground thyme
  • 1 tsp. ground sage
  • 1 Tbsp. paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • Egg Wash:
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 Tbsps. water
  • Honey Garlic Sauce
  • 2 Tbsps. olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Preparation

Step 1

1. Season pork chops with salt and pepper, then dip the chops in the flour and spice mixture. Dip the chops in the eggwash, and then dip again into the flour and spice mixture, pressing the mix into the chop to get good contact.

2. Heat a skillet on the stove with about 1/2 inch of canola oil covering the bottom. You will want to carefully regulate the temperature here so that the chops do not brown too quickly on the outside before they are fully cooked on the inside. Use medium heat (a burner setting of about 4 1/2 out of 10 on the dial) and fry them gently for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

3. Drain on a wire rack for a coupleo of minutes before dipping the cooked chops into the Honey Garlic sauce. Serve with noodles or rice.

4. To make the honey garlic sauce, in a medium saucepan, fry the garlic in olive oil until softened, but not browned. Add the honey, soy sauce, and black pepper. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, remove from the heat, and allow to cool for a few minutes. Watch carefully as it simmers, because it can foam up over the pot very easily.
