mdmchongkitchen: Deep Fried Pork Chops

Dear All My Malay Kawan-Kawan,

Deep Fried Pork Chops

First, please accept my sincere and in-advanced apologize and skip this content if you are reading this recipe.

I have been hesitating since last week whether to blog pork-related home cooking recipes as I feel it might be disrespectful to my Malay friends. So, I put aside Mdm Chong’s some recipes until my lately post because pork is commonly used cooking ingredient at my home or I should say more than 60% of recipes can’t run out of pork. Thus, I have no choice but to blog some pork-related recipes else my site will lack of contents. Once again, I am so sorry about that.

Today I am going to share a very simple yet delicious deep fried pork chops. Crucial parts to make this dish lie in the marinating time, heat control of cooking oil and 2 key ingredients to retain meats’ juiciness.

Okay! Let’s start…

Serving: up to 6 person

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Marinating Time: At least 2 hours

Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

- 6 cut pork chops

Ingredients used in marinating

- 1 soupspoon of light soy sauce

- ½ soupspoon of sweet soy sauce

- 2 tablespoon of brown sugar

- ½ tablespoon of pepper

- 1 soupspoon of vegetable oil

- 1 teaspoon of Ajinomoto

- 2 teaspoon of salt

- 4 soupspoon of cornstarch

- 1 egg

Prep Works:-

1. Cut pork chop into thin slices with approximately 1 cm thick.

2. Use back of knife to tenderize them by pounding both sides horizontally then vertically.

3. Marinate them with all ingredients except cornstarch and egg. Keep them in refrigerator and let meats to sit in for at least 2 hours so that they soak up more flavour and tenderize. You will see meats with deepen colour after marinating.

Mdm Chong's Cooking Methods:-

1. Before frying them, add in egg and cornstarch and mixed well. In doing so, the outer skin of the pork chop will be crispier and juices will be retained too.

2. Heat cooking oil over medium-high heat. Once oil turns hot, fry them with each side about 4-5 minute or until you see golden colour on the outside and able to poke through by chopstick or any sharp object.
