Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 6 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 tablespoons scallions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, Chinese five-spice powder, and ground white pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the pork chops in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring every chop is well-coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Set aside.
Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Remove the pork chops from the marinade (reserving the marinade) and pat them dry with paper towels. This prevents excess splattering during frying.
Step 6
Sear the pork chops in the hot pan for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chops from the pan and set them aside on a plate.
Step 7
Lower the heat to medium and pour the reserved marinade into the pan. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce and thicken.
Step 8
Stir in the cornstarch slurry and continue cooking the sauce until it reaches a thick, glossy consistency, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 9
Return the pork chops to the pan, spooning the sauce over them to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to ensure the flavors meld together.
Step 10
Transfer the pork chops to a serving plate and garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds.
Step 11
Serve hot with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
