we have food at home.

~ingredients:

• 4 pork chops
• 6 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tbsp shaoxing wine
• 1 tsp white pepper 
• 1 tbsp five spice powder
• 2 tsp sugar
• 1 tbsp corn starch
• 2 tbsp water
• 1 tbsp neutral cooking oil

~instructions:

1. Using a meat tenderizer, pound the pork chops thin. 
2. Use a food scissor to snip 1/2 inch cuts around the edges of the pork chops. This will prevent the edges from curling up when cooking. 
3. Place the pork chops in a bowl, and add the garlic, salt, dark soy sauce, shaoxing wine, white pepper, five spice powder, sugar, corn starch, and water. Mix until each pork chop is covered in the marinade. 
4. Cover and set aside to marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes, or overnight. 
5. When ready to cook, heat up your pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add oil and let the oil heat up. 
6. Add in the pork chops, without overcrowding the pan. You’ll probably need to cook in two batches. 
7. Sear on one side until browned, and then flip. Since the pork chops are thin, they’ll cook quick (probably 2-3 minutes per side). Lower the heat if it is burning too quickly. 
8. Once both sides are browned, and the pork chops are cooked through, turn off the heat. 
9. Serve with rice, and enjoy!
