Taiwanese Pork Chops Recipe



"This pork chop recipe has a great flavor using Chinese five-spice powder. If you can find sweet potato powder, use it instead of cornstarch. Serve this with plain white rice and a simple vegetable side."

Taiwanese Pork Chops INGREDIENTS:

  • 4 (3/4 inch) thick bone-in pork chops
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon white wine
  • 1/2 tablespoon Chinese five-spice powder
  • vegetable oil
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • cornstarch

Taiwanese Pork Chops DIRECTIONS:

  1. With a sharp knife, make several small slits near the edges of the pork chops to keep them from curling when fried.
  2. Into a large resealable plastic bag, add the soy sauce, garlic, sugar, white wine, and five-spice powder. Place chops into the bag, and close the seal tightly. Carefully massage the marinade into chops, coating well. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, turning the bag over every so often.
  3. In a large skillet, heat enough vegetable oil to fill the skillet to a depth of about 1/2 inch. Remove chops from resealable bag without wiping off marinade. Lightly sprinkle cornstarch on both sides of the chops.
  4. Carefully add chops to skillet; cook, turning once, until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.


Editor's Note:

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
