Chinese Style Fried Pork Chops

Ingredients:

• 4 pork chops or pork tenderloins
• bread crumbs
• 1 egg
• flour
• oil (for frying)

marinade:

• 1 T soy sauce
• 1 T rice wine
• 2 t sugar
• 1/2 t salt
• 2 green onion, chopped
• 5 slices ginger, chopped
• 1/4 t five-spice powder

Directions:

1. Tenderize meat pork with a meat mallet. If you’re short on time, pound to at least 1/4 inch thickness or thinner.
2. Mix the marinate sauce with pork. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes. (I’ve marinated it as long as 1 day and as little as 10 minutes.).
3. Coat each pork chop with flour, dip into egg (stirred with 2 t water), then coat with bread crumbs.
4. Heat enough oil in a large skillet to cover bottom. Place pork in pan when oil begins to shimmer. Cook pork chops over med-high heat until cooked through.
