Taiwanese Spiced Pork Chops
Ingredients
  • 4 (3/4 inch) thick bone-in pork chops
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon white wine
  • 1/2 tablespoon Chinese five-spice powder
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • cornstarch
Instructions
1
Using a sharp blade, create shallow cuts along the edges of the pork chops to prevent curling during frying.
2
Combine soy sauce, minced garlic, granulated sugar, white wine, and five-spice powder in a large, airtight container. Place the pork chops inside the bag and seal it firmly. Gently rub the meat to ensure an even coating of the marinade. Store in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, periodically rotating the bag to achieve uniform marination.
3
Heat a substantial amount of vegetable oil in a large skillet until it reaches approximately half the height of the pan. Remove the pork chops from their marinade bag without wiping off any excess sauce. Lightly dust both sides of the pork chops with cornstarch.
4
Carefully place the coated pork chops into the skillet, cooking them once and turning to achieve a golden-brown appearance on both sides. The internal temperature should reach at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) according to an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center.
