This recipe brings a delightful twist to classic fried pork chops, featuring a savory garlic soy marinade and a crispy coating.
Combine the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, salt, white pepper, and minced garlic in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the garlic is finely minced to release its full flavor into the marinade.
Place the pork chops in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Marinating overnight allows the flavors to deeply penetrate the meat for a more flavorful result.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels.
Drying the pork chops helps the coating adhere better and ensures a crispy texture.
Dredge the pork chops in cornstarch, shaking off any excess.
Use a shallow dish for the cornstarch to make coating easier and more even.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the pork chops until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain the oil temperature and achieve even frying.
Place the fried pork chops on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Letting the pork chops rest on paper towels helps remove excess oil for a lighter dish.
Serve the pork chops hot with your choice of sides, such as steamed rice or a fresh salad.
Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
