Juicy Savory Braised Pork Chops
Directions
- 1Start with pork shoulder and slice it into thick pieces.
- 2Use the back of your knife to pound the meat to make it super tender.
- 3Add ginger, green onion, garlic, a splash of cooking wine to remove the strong smell, and one spoon of oyster sauce.
- 4Mix everything together and let it marinate for 15 minutes.
- 5Heat a pan with a little oil and fry the pork on medium-low heat until all sides turn golden brown.
- 6Pour in a pack of your favorite braising sauce.
- 7Add half a cup of boiling water.
- 8Cover the pan and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, flipping the meat a few times so it soaks up all the flavor.
- 9Remove the lid and let the sauce reduce until it becomes thick and glossy.
- 10Once the pork cools slightly, slice it into bite-size pieces.
