Provided by SHARONLIN

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian

Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 (3/4 inch) thick bone-in pork chops
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon sugar
½ tablespoon white wine
½ tablespoon Chinese five-spice powder
vegetable oil
vegetable oil for frying
cornstarch

Steps:

  • With a sharp knife, make several small slits near the edges of the pork chops to keep them from curling when fried.
  • Into a large resealable plastic bag, add the soy sauce, garlic, sugar, white wine, and five-spice powder. Place chops into the bag, and close the seal tightly. Carefully massage the marinade into chops, coating well. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, turning the bag over every so often.
  • In a large skillet, heat enough vegetable oil to fill the skillet to a depth of about 1/2 inch. Remove chops from resealable bag without wiping off marinade. Lightly sprinkle cornstarch on both sides of the chops.
  • Carefully add chops to skillet; cook, turning once, until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.

PORK RIB CHOPS WITH SAUTEED APPLE AND STAR ANISE



Pork Rib Chops with Sauteed Apple and Star Anise image

Categories     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Apple     Pork Rib     Fall     Anise     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 12-ounce pork rib chops
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1 tablespoon brown sugar
4 whole star anise*
2 Fuji apples (about 1 pound), cored, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1/2 cup apple juice
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Add pork to skillet; cook until brown on both sides and thermometer inserted horizontally into pork registers 140°F, about 7 minutes per side. Transfer to plates; tent with foil.
  • Pour off drippings from skillet. Add 2 tablespoons butter, brown sugar, and star anise to same skillet and stir over high heat until melted. Add apples; cook until brown and caramelized, stirring frequently, about 8 minutes. Spoon apples over pork. Add apple juice and vinegar to skillet; boil sauce until reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 3 minutes. Whisk in remaining 1 tablespoon butter; season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle sauce over apples and pork.
  • *Brown, star-shaped seedpods; available in the spice section of some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and Asian markets.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chops should reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • If you don't have cinnamon sticks or star anise, you can substitute ground cinnamon and anise extract. Use 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon of anise extract for each cinnamon stick and star anise called for in the recipe.
  • To save time, you can marinate the pork chops in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before cooking. This will help the flavors penetrate the meat and make the chops more tender.
  • Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Cinnamon Star Anise Pork Chops is a delicious and easy way to enjoy pork chops. The cinnamon and star anise add a unique and flavorful twist to the chops, and the cooking method ensures that they are cooked evenly and juicy.
