Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Season pork with salt. Swirl oil in skillet, add pork, and cook, flipping once, until golden brown, about 5 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
- Add pineapple, ginger, and sambal oelek to skillet; cook, stirring, 20 seconds. Add rice, broth, and 3/4 teaspoon salt; bring to a boil. Stir in cabbage and cilantro. Cover and transfer to oven; bake 15 minutes. Remove and nestle in pork; drizzle with any accumulated juices.
- Cover, return to oven, and bake until a thermometer inserted in thickest parts of pork reads 138°, 5 to 6 minutes more. Remove from oven and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro leaves and serve with more sambal oelek.
Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Thicker chops (1-inch or more) will stay moist and tender during cooking. Look for chops that are evenly marbled with fat.
- Brine the pork chops: Brining helps to tenderize and flavor the pork chops. You can brine them for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Cook the pork chops over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from drying out. If you cook them over high heat, they will quickly brown on the outside but remain raw on the inside.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to the desired doneness: Pork chops are considered safe to eat when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. However, many people prefer to cook them to a slightly higher temperature, such as 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
Conclusion:
Pork chops are a versatile and delicious cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you are grilling, pan-frying, or baking them, by following these tips, you can ensure that your pork chops turn out perfectly every time. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or mashed potatoes, for a complete and satisfying meal.
