Steps:
- Season both sides of each pork chop generously with salt and pepper. Rub soy sauce over each and dust cornstarch over them. Pour the 1/4 cup flour onto a plate and coat pork chops in flour. Set aside.
- Put about 1 Tbsp oil in a large skillet. Fry pork chops over high heat till crisp brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. You may need to pan-fry them for longer if you have thicker pork chops. Place finished pork chops on a plate and dry off residual oil with a paper towel. Set aside.
- Use some of the leftover oil in the skillet to stir-fry the garlic cloves, spring onion, and sliced jalapeño pepper. Add 1 tsp sesame oil. Return pork chops to the pan and stir-fry all together for about 30 seconds. Let pork chops rest for 5 minutes.
- Plate and serve over rice.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and saute until fragrant. Season pork chops with salt and pepper, then fry them in the skillet just until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops to a baking pan or Dutch oven.
- Pour the mushrooms into the skillet with the pork drippings and garlic, and stir in the sherry and beef broth, scraping any bits of pork that are stuck to the pan. Bring to a boil, then pour over the pork chops in the baking pan. Cover with a lid, or aluminum foil.
- Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, then remove the lid or foil, and continue to bake for another 15 minutes. Remove the chops from the pan to a serving platter, and place the dish on the stove over medium heat. Stir together the cornstarch and water. When the juices in the pan come to a boil, slowly stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Spoon sauce over the chops, and serve.

GRANDMA'S TEPONG PORK
Molly Yeh's dad was the one who persuaded her to make her grandmother's braised pork for the first time. It was one of his favorite foods growing up, and when Molly got the recipe from her grandmother Mary, she understood why. "I love how heavy it is on the sugar as well as the star anise, which I don't use a lot in my cooking," she says. "It's so comforting and has this warm, nostalgic quality."

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325˚ F. Heat the oil in a large ovenproof pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add the pork fat-side down and cook until it starts to turn golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside. Add the onions, garlic, ginger, cloves and star anise and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions start to soften, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in the brown sugar and cook, stirring frequently, until melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the soy sauce and vinegar and stir to combine. Add the pork back to the pot, fat-side down and add enough water to cover about three-quarters of the way. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pot and transfer to the oven. Cook until the pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork, 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
- Meanwhile, place the eggs in a medium pot and cover with cold water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, immediately turn off the heat and cover the pot. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 3 minutes. Drain the water and submerge the eggs in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Peel the eggs and cut 4 or 5 small slits into the whites of each egg. Refrigerate the eggs until needed.
- Remove the pork from the pot and set the pot over high heat. Bring the liquid left in the pot to a boil and cook until reduced by half, about 30 minutes. Add the eggs to the pot and cook for an additional 5 to 6 minutes so the sweet and salty sauce gets into the yolks of the eggs. Remove the eggs, then strain the sauce into a bowl or gravy strainer and skim off the fat. Slice the pork and spoon the sauce over the top. Serve with the eggs.
GRANDMA'S PORK CHOPS
Steps:
- 1. Rub both sides of the chops with the dry rub, coating them generously. Place them in a deep baking dish, overlapping if necessary. Stir the citrus juices, vinegar, and garlic together in a bowl until blended. Pour over the chops and massage into them.
- 2. Marinate the chops at room temperature for up to 1 hour or in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
- 3. Pour enough oil into a large, heavy skillet to film the bottom. (If necessary, work in batches or use two skillets - if you have them and space on the stove to hold them.) Heat the oil over medium heat until rippling. Remove the chops from the marinade and discard the marinade. Add as many chops as will fit in the pan without touching. Cook until the chops are well browned on the underside, about 6 minutes. Turn the chops and cook until they are firm near the bone when you poke them with a finger, about 8 minutes. Keep warm while cooking the second batch, if necessary. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter and saute carrots, celery and onion until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the flour to the vegetables and blend well. Cook the flour until it achieves a slight blonde color. Next, stir in the tomato paste and allow to slightly cook, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth while stirring and bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat and add the can of diced tomatoes and the potatoes. Simmer until potatoes are cooked through, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the peanut oil in an electric fryer or large pan fitted with deep-fry thermometer to 325 degrees F. In a large casserole dish, mix together flour, and season with salt and pepper. Dredge chops in flour mixture, patting excess off. Place chops, 2 at time, in fryer and cook until cooked through, about 6 minutes. Cool slightly and remove to a paper towel lined sheet tray.
- Add the cooked chops to soup and simmer another 30 minutes, or until the meat falls off the bone. During the last 10 minutes of cooking, add the corn, peas, and green beans. Ladle soup into individual bowls, top with a pork chop and sprinkle with parsley.

Tips:
- Choose pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick for best results.
- Always pat the pork chops dry before cooking to help them brown evenly.
- Season the pork chops liberally with salt and pepper, or use your favorite pork chop seasoning.
- Use a heavy skillet or griddle over medium-high heat to cook the pork chops. This will help them get a nice sear.
- Cook the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature; it should read 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
