Salt and Pepper Pork Chops

Salt and pepper pork chops are one of my fave dishes to make for lunch! It features tender and crispy pork chops seasoned with a blend of garlic salt, Chinese five-spice powder and white pepper. It’s savoury, spicy and so aromatic. You’re also gonna need two bowls of rice with this one because it’s that good 🙂

ingredients:

• 3 pork chops (or pork shoulder)
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 green onions (separate white and green part)
• 1 red chilli
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 tsp doubanjiang (Chinese chilli bean paste) 

Marinade:

• 1 tsp light soy sauce
• 2 tsp Shaoxing cooking wine
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp water
• A pinch of sugar
• White pepper powder

Salt and pepper seasoning:

• 1 tsp garlic salt
• 1/2 tsp Chinese five spice powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp ground white pepper

steps:

1. Tenderise the pork chops using the back of a knife, then slice into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, combine the pork chops with marinade ingredients. Marinate for at least 20 minutes.
2. Heat a pan over medium-high heat with some oil. Coat each pork chop slices generously with cornstarch. Cook each side of the pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same pan, sauté the minced garlic, white part of the green onions, and red chilli for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in doubanjiang and a pinch of sugar. Cook for another minute until well combined.
4. Add the pork chops back into the pan. Sprinkle the salt and pepper seasoning evening over the pork chops, toss to coat them well.
5. Finally, add the green part of the chopped green onions, tossing together briefly before serving.
