Pork Chop Recipe!

I always like pork chop but never really get to eat nice ones outside except the one from Pivdorf but was looking thru their menu during my last visit and couldnt find it anymore.. Anyway! I shall do a FYI self created one similar to the Pivdorf one. Maybe you can try my recipe and tell me if it taste nice!


What you will need:

1) PORK (If you are going to get the pork from wet market, just ask for Bah Tao. if you dun know how much to get, tell the butcher you need it for cooking western food, and about how many ppl will be eating. If you are going to get your pork from the supermart, search for the whole piece of meat in the shape of like an oblong piece of wooden block, then agar agar yourself how many slides should each of your guest be getting)

2) Chicken's egg

Ingredients to marinate the pork:
1) Salt
2) Pepper
3) Light soya sauce

Step 1: Thaw the pork if you have freezed it overnight. Use a super sharp knife to slide the pork in pieces (each about 2cm or 1.5cm in thickness)

Step 2: Use the meat pounder and start pounding each slide. When you pound the meat, you will realise that the thickness gets thinner. After pounding, each slide should be about 1cm thick. (If you cut your pork 2cm thick, after pound will be abt 1.5cm thick. If it's 1.5cm, then will be 1cm thick after pounding)

Step 3: Put the slides of pork into a BIG bowl, sprink sparingly the salt and pepper, and add light soya sauce. Mix well. How much is enough? Depending on your instinct. If you don know don't know if the saltiness is enough, you can tab your finger onto the raw meat and put your finger onto your tongue, see if the meat are too bland. Rinse your mouth. If you want the meat to be very soft, you can add a tiny little bit of soda powder too.

Step 4: Cover the meat with an overturned big plate, or whatever clean that you can find in the kitchen. Marinate it for 10 mins? 30mins? depending on your instinct or mood. As for me, 5mins is more than enough cos I cant wait for long to sunk my teeth into the meat.

Step 5: Crack open the raw egg, beat it in a bowl, sprinkle some salt. SPRINKLE, and I really mean just sprinkle.

Step 6: Heat the pan. Best if you can find those non-stick black color shallow pan. You know, those that are very high tech or very expensive, with a red color indicator when the pan is hot enough to fry. Yah, that's the type of pan. Opps forgot, you have to add a shallow layer of oil into the pan. Chose the sunflower seed oil. I think that is healthy.

Step 7: Once the pan is hot, coat the slides of pork with the beaten egg, slowly lower each slides into the pan. DO NOT STACK THE SLIDES OF PORK IN THE PAN. If you have many slides, fry a few rounds to complete frying all slides. If the oil is not enough, you can always refill the pan.

Step 8: Flip the meat. Always remember to fry both sides. Once it is golden brown, you may remove the meat from the pan.

Step 9: Then open your can of heinz bake beans and warm it up, fry your fries, fry your sunny up and

There! You will have your western pork chop ready!
