Ingredients preparation

• 2-3 pork chops (bone-in or minced pork chops are acceptable)

• 1 onion (shredded/sliced)

• 2 cloves of garlic

• 1.5 tablespoons light soy sauce

• 1/2 tablespoon dark soy sauce

• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon cornstarch

• Pepper and sesame oil in small amounts

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for marinating meat)

• 2-3 tablespoons oil

• 50-80ml water/chicken broth

Optional

• Shredded carrots/green peppers/instant mushrooms (for color and flavor)

Detailed steps

🥩 1. Marinate the pork chop

• Wash the pork chop, dry it, and pat it lightly with the back of a knife to loosen it up (to make it tenderer and smoother).

• Marinade: 1 tablespoon light soy sauce, a little dark soy sauce, half a teaspoon sugar, pepper, a few drops of sesame oil, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon cornstarch (to enhance the smoothness).

• Rub and massage with your hands for five minutes and marinate for 15-30 minutes to absorb the flavor.

🧅 2. Onion and material pretreatment

• Slice (or shred) the onion, slice the garlic, and cut the carrots and green peppers into thin strips according to your taste.

• You can sprinkle a little salt to make the onions fry faster.

🍳 3. Fry first then stir-fry to keep it fresh and tender

• Heat oil in a frying pan over high heat. Fry the pork chops for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown and half cooked.

• Editor’s tip: Don’t stir-fry right at the beginning; fry the outer layer first to prevent the gravy from being lost.

🍲 4. Sauté the side dishes

• Add a little oil to the original pan, add garlic slices and onion and sauté until soft.

• Add carrots/green peppers/mushrooms, etc. into the pan and stir-fry for 30 seconds.

• Sauté onions until translucent and sweet.

🐖 5. Combined seasoning

• Return the pork chops to the wok and add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and a little water (or chicken broth).

• Stir-fry until well combined, cover and bake over medium-low heat for 1-2 minutes (to allow the steak to be fully cooked and flavorful).

• Taste when the water has reduced to a sauce. If necessary, add a little salt or sugar to adjust.

• Finally, sprinkle with chopped green onions to enhance the flavor.

🥢 6. Serve and enjoy

• Serve immediately, the pork chops absorb the sweetness of the onions, and the sauce is thick and coats every piece of meat.

• It goes great with white rice or fried rice!

Editor's Tips

• Tenderize the pork chop to avoid shoe openings, and marinate the meat with cornstarch/cornstarch to make it super slippery.

• Do not add onions too early, stir-fry until fragrant and then add the main ingredients.

• Carrots and green peppers add color and flavor and are healthy.

• Do not add too much water to avoid it becoming soupy.

• When frying pork chops, do not flip them too much. Fry the surface until it has a brighter color and is fragrant.

Eating experience 😋

The sweetness of the onions is fully released, while the pork chop remains tender and meaty. The slightly sweet and fragrant aroma is unforgettable and the whole family will be grabbing it. One dish completes the main course and side dish!
