Macao Style Pork Chops

This time is real stuff for this dish instead of my earlier recipe using mock meats [see posting].   Simple preparation, yet awesome served with rice or buns and pickles.   This yummy dish costs less than RM 10.00.  As One dish meal, it is enough for 3.
Original recipe from Yum Yum Magazine No. 48 with modifications
Ingredients
[serves 5]
500 gm pork chop slices [about 7-8 pieces, 1 cm thick slices] or any tender lean pork of your choice
some  toasted sesame seeds
some oil for pan frying
Marinade
4 tbsp light soy sauce
4 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp cooking wine
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp each of 5 spice powder and pepper
  1. Slice tender pork into 1 cm thickness.  Tenderise with the back of the knife.
  2. Marinate with marinade for several hours or overnight in the fridge.
  3. Heat oil in non-stick pan, pan fry meat pieces without the marinade until the edges are brown and slightly crispy.  Flip over to fry the other side, about 5 minutes for each side.
  4. Dish out on serving platter.
  5. Add some water to marinade.  Pour into pan to boil until it is slightly thickened [optional if you prefer some gravy for pork chops].
  6. Pour over fried meat slices, sprinkle some sesame seeds over meat.

  4. Hi Alvin, yes, real meat has a bite and more chewy. Needs a knife to slice when eating it.

  6. Hi Mui Mui, I can still remember the flavours [both the meats]. Wouldn't mind cooking this often. With noodles should be good too.

  10. Hi Joyce, leftovers are quite common in many households. I prefer to have less share than leftovers. Many you can try cooking this according to require portions, hehehe!

  12. Hi Phong Hong, try to us 'kidney' meat [translate to Hokkien]. This kind is very tender and you may have to cut thicker slices.
