Chinese Style Fried Pork Chops - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 pork chops or 4 pork tenderloin
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 dash pepper or 1 dash five-spice powder
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 egg
6 tablespoons cornstarch
oil (for frying)

Preparation

Tenderize meat pork with a meat mallet. If you're short on time, pound to at least 1/4 inch thickness or thinner.
Mix together all the ingredients except cornstarch and oil and pour over pork. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes. (I've marinated it as long as 1 day and as little as 10 minutes.).
Just before frying, pour cornstarch on top of pork and stir into marinade.
Heat enough oil in a large skillet to cover bottom. Place pork in pan when oil begins to shimmer. Cook pork chops over med-high heat until cooked through.
