Recipe - Chinese Pork Chops

This recipe is so good, I couldn't wait to share it with you. The recipe calls for boneless pork chops, but I used bone-in chops and it was just as tasty and easy to make. I used a turbo cooker to cook it on the stove, but a regular deep frying pan or dutch oven would work just as well. Just make sure you have a tight fitting lid for the pan you are using. We spooned a little of the sauce over the rice and it was fabulous! I think next time I might julienne some carrots and green peppers and put them in the sauce about halfway through the cooking time.

Serves Six

~ 6 – 4 oz. boneless pork chops
~ 1 small onion, chopped
~ 1/3 cup ketchup
~ 3 tablespoons brown sugar
~ 3 tablespoons water
~ 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
~ 1 garlic clove, minced
~ 1 teaspoon ground ginger
~ 3 cups cooked white rice

All ingredients can be placed in a slow cooker and cooked for 3-4 hours on high. To make in a pan on top of the stove, use the following instructions.

Place chops in a large pan on medium-high heat with one tablespoon of olive oil. Brown chops, about 2-3 minutes per side.

While browning the pork chops, combine the onion, ketchup, brown sugar, water, soy sauce, garlic and ginger to make the sauce. Stir until brown sugar is dissolved and all ingredients are well incorporated. Pour the sauce over the chops, cover and simmer on medium-low heat for 1 hour. Turn and spoon sauce over chops every 15 minutes.

Serve with ½ cup of white rice and 3 tablespoons of sauce per person. Goes great with steamed broccoli or green beans.
