Teriyaki Pork Chop

Ingredients:

5 pork chops, scored
2 tbsp cooking oil

Marinade:

3/4 cup light soy sauce
1/2 cup sake
1/4 cup dark soy sauce
4 1/2 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp minced ginger
1 tsp black pepper powder

Gravy:

1/4 cup light soy sauce
4 tbsp sake
3 tbsp sugar


Method:

In a wok or deep pan, mix all the marinade ingredients, bring to simmer over medium heat and stir till sugar is fully dissolved.

Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.

In a container, arrange pork chops in one layer basic, pour marinade over the chops, turn chops to evenly coat with marinade, marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight in refrigerator (turn chops occasionally).

In a non-stick pan, heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and pan-fry chops 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or until just cooked through.

Remove from heat and set aside.

Mix all the gravy ingredients in a wok or pan, bring to simmer over medium heat with stirring to dissolve the sugar.

Return chops into the wok or pan to evenly coated with gravy.

Dish up and serve chops drizzled with additional gravy.

Serve hot with or without rice.
