CHINESE FIVE SPICE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Arrange the pork chops in a single layer in a non-metallic baking dish.
• Sprinkle on the five spice powder, then drizzle over the soy sauce and garlic oil.
• Using clean hands rub the mixture into the meat.
• Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 325°C/160°F.
• Uncover the dish and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the meat is cooked through and tender.
• Serve immediately with a green leafy vegetable or broccoli and plain boiled or steamed rice.

CHINESE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, vegetable oil, ginger, and garlic powder. Set aside some of the mixture in a separate bowl for marinating during cooking. Pierce the pork chops on both sides with a fork, place in a large resealable plastic bag, and cover with the remaining marinade mixture. Refrigerate 6 to 8 hours.
• Preheat the grill for high heat.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Discard marinade, and grill pork chops 6 to 8 minutes per side, or to desired doneness, marinating often with the reserved portion of the marinade.

CHINESE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients, except crumbs and chops.
• Marinate chops in mixture for a minimum of 3 hours.
• Coat chops with corn flake crumbs and bake on a cookie sheet at 350 for about 45 minutes.

CRISPY BREADED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly coat a wire rack with cooking spray and set in a rimmed baking sheet.
• Whisk eggs and water together in a shallow dish. Place bread crumbs in a second shallow dish.
• Season pork chops evenly with salt and pepper. Dip and coat chops in egg, allow excess to drip off, then dip in bread crumbs until well coated.
• Heat 1/2 of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place 2 chops in the skillet and cook until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until crisp on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to the prepared rack. Heat remaining oil in the skillet and repeat to sear remaining chops.
• Bake pork chops in preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 155 degrees F (68 degrees C).

CHINESE CRISPY ROAST PORK (SIEW YUK)

Steps:

• Wash and dry your meat thoroughly. Score the skin in vertical lines about 1 inch apart as they will become the guidelines where to chop the meat once cooked.
• Mash all the other ingredients together to make a paste. Smear the paste all over the roast working it into the skin and meat. Put the roast in a pan that will let the fat drain through (a wire rack over a baking sheet will do in a pinch), and place in refrigerator covered overnight.
• When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 450 degrees F, and when hot enough, stick the pan in the over for 30 minutes.
• After 30 minutes, the skin should just be turning brown (if it's getting too dark, turn down the heat sooner). Reduce the heat to 250 degrees F and let it roast for about 8 hours. You'll know it's ready when most of the fat has rendered out and the meat has started pulling away from the bone.
• When it's ready, take it out of the oven, transfer it to a different pan (you could do it in the same pan, but the fat that's collected in this pan will smoke and set your smoke alarms off). Put it back into a 450 degree F oven to crisp the skin for 15-20 minutes. The skin should be puffed up, crisp and golden brown.
• Take it out of the oven and let it rest for a bit. You'll probably want to take the skin off and break it up by hand, slicing the slabs of tender pork separately.
