MARINADE

Marinade: Mix the marinade ingredients in a bowl; marinate chops for at least 30 minutes turn from time to time.

Lightly dredge the marinated pork chops in ¼ cup cornstarch. Heat oil in a large skillet. Pan-fry chops, a few at a time, until they are golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Serve hot.

Source: The New Classic Chinese Cookbook by Mai Leung Suzy's Hint: I like to use a plastic zip-type bag for marinating. It's easier to turn the entire bag from side to side then using a bowl and turning the meat piece by piece. It also keeps the marinade odor out of the refrigerator...especially when you use a marinade with garlic.

Additionally, the bag takes up less shelf space than a bowl.
