I always keep pork chops in the freezer and often use them for this recipe — one that my family loves. I usually serve it with rice and a salad. Enjoy!
Chinese Oven-Fried Pork Chops
Ingredients:
1 egg
3 Tablespoons soy sauce
1 Tablespoon dry sherry or water
1/8 teaspoon ginger, ground
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
4 Tablespoons packaged breadcrumbs (you will probably need more; use Panko if you have them)
4 lean loin pork chops, well trimmed (about 1 pound)
Directions:
Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray (no-fat frying and minimal clean-up!).
Beat egg, soy sauce, sherry or water, ginger and garlic powder together in a pie plate. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on a sheet of waxed paper.
Dip chops into egg mixture, then press into breadcrumbs, coating evenly on both sides. Arrange in a single layer on prepared pan.
Bake at 350° for 30 minutes, turn and bake 20 minutes longer or until chops are tender and show no pink. Do not overcook. Baking time really depends on the thickness of the pork chops. Serves 4.
