grilled pork chop

Pork Chop Paradise

Posted on June 28, 2010December 28, 2022 by PatriCa BB 雪冰

grilled pork chop“Pan-seared/ grilled or broiled, this easy-making pork chop tastes simply great! And, learn some tips on how to cook perfectly-sautéed button mushroom here.”

An idea for home candle-lit dinner, even in some busy weekdays. I really find it more relax, convenient and very comfortable to have good meals at home, especially after long day work.

My Wok Life Cooking Blog Pork Chop ParadiseAnyway, this well-seasoned pork chop with is easy to prepare. So, plan to have dinner on the table in less than 15 minutes. Serve with side dishes of vegetables and mashed potato or raisin rice for a comforting and well-rounded western meal, or to prepare it for your outdoor barbeque party. Another good way to enjoy this juicy delicious chop is simply have it with steamed rice, for a lunch box.

See recipe of pork chop:

This juicy ‘fusion-flavoured’ pork chop is good to serve as express meal, for lunch box or improvise it into an elegant western dinner meal.

Ingredients
4 thick slices of pork chops (about ½” thick, bone in, centre cut)
4 large button mushrooms, sliced
3 tablespoons of olive oil
1/2 teaspoon of coarsely ground black pepper
Pinch of cornstarch (about 1/2 teaspoon of amount)

Seasoning for pork chop:
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of paprika powder
1 teaspoon of chicken granule
1 teaspoon of grounded white pepper
1 teaspoon of sugar

1 teaspoon of light soy sauce
1 tablespoon of oyster sauce

Method
1) Mix the listed seasoning ingredients, except for the last three condiment items (i.e. light soy sauce, oyster sauce and black pepper) in a bowl. Dredge each pork chop in seasoning mixture. Make sure both sides of each chop are well coated. Now, add oyster sauce and light soy sauce, and combine well. Then, stack pork chops in a deep bowl, seal bowl with cling wrap, and marinate in refrigerator overnight, or at least 3 hours.

2) Heat large frying pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high. Place each slice of button mushroom on the pan. Do not crowd or stack them. Sauté mushroom slices till browned. Heat off and transfer sautéed mushrooms onto a serving dish. Set aside for later.

3) In the same frying pan, add 1 more tablespoon of olive oil and heat pan on medium-low fire. Sprinkle some salt into the heated oil. Using just finger tips, lightly pat some cornstarch on both side of each pork chop. Then, sprinkle black pepper on both sides of each pork chop. Place well-seasoned pork chop into frying pan (place only two chops at one time). Pan-fry pork chops till browned on each side. Heat off and remove chops from pan. Repeat step with the remaining pork chops.

4) When completed, arrange two chops on a large serving dish. Top some sautéed button mushrooms on the chops. Serve with the side dishes, if desired.

A thick slice of my pork chop dish counts about 130kcal. Full pork chops meal counts about 600kcal.

Tips: To ensure the tenderness of pork chop, add some meat tenderizer, 15 minutes before cooking. Or, slightly pound the chops with meat pounder before seasoning.
* To get perfectly browned button mushroom is your cooking, first and most important thing to note is, DO NOT CROWD the mushrooms in the pan! Make sure each mushroom slice is well spread in the entire pan. Otherwise, the button mushrooms won’t be browned with slight crispiness.

One of my go-to dining places when I need a quiet One of my go-to dining places when I need a quiet and relaxing (with live piano performance) dinner on a week night if I am in KL. #colonialcafe at The Majestic Hotel in Kuala Lumpur. 

Serving not just the Western, but Hainanese cuisine. Loved their dinner rolls (but not the butter), too. 

Averagely RM150 per pax for a 2-course (shared appetizer and main course) and coffee/ chilled drink.

Just came across a random IG post this morning saying that “woman over 40, can never looked as young and as energetic as young girls no matter how well she took care of herself”…… In the first place, why should women over their 40s, to take care of themselves and their appearance, is to compare with young girls…. Why only women over 40 need to be taught by him (a guy at his 20s or so) that these women should and should not do certain things in their life…. Why only women over 40s….. Speechless. Period. #happymothersdaytoall
