Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
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.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade (reserving the marinade) and pat them dry with paper towels. This prevents excess splattering during frying.
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.
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.
Stir in the cornstarch slurry and continue cooking the sauce until it reaches a thick, glossy consistency, about 1-2 minutes.
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.
Transfer the pork chops to a serving plate and garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds.
Serve hot with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
