Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

Prep Time: 10 mins

Total Time: 20 mins

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.
