Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 sliced green onions
• 1 teaspoon white pepper
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 cup water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, five-spice powder, sesame oil, and white pepper. Mix well to form the marinade.

Step 2

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and use a sharp knife to make small slits along the edges to prevent curling during cooking.

Step 3

Place the pork chops into the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Remove the pork chops from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later. Pat the pork chops dry slightly with paper towels.

Step 7

Sear the pork chops in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C). Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside to rest.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to medium and pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Add the water and bring the sauce to a simmer.

Step 9

Stir the cornstarch slurry into the sauce and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 10

Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to reheat the chops and infuse them with the sauce.

Step 11

Transfer the pork chops to a serving plate and garnish with sliced green onions.

Step 12

Serve the Jing Tu Pork Chops hot with steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables.
