  • 4 pork chops (weight about one pound)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp ground black pepper

  • Sufficient oil to pan-fry

Directions

  1. 1

    Cut the pork loin to around half 3/4 inch in thickness. 

  2. 2

    Pound it on both sides with the spine of the cleaver lightly to tenderize the pork chops.

  3. 3

    Marinate the pork chops with salt, black pepper, vegetable oil,  and Chinese five-spice powder for at least one hour.

    Heat enough oil in the pan.

    Finally, cut some green onions into thin rings and sprinkle them on the pork chops as garnish.
