Fried Pork Chop with Dipping Sauce

This is one of my family’s favorite recipes.  With right preparation and a good dipping sauce, the pan-fried pork chop tastes very appetizing.

Pan-Fried Pork Chop Ingredients:
1. 2 pork chops（with or without bone）
2. ½ cup sweet potato flour
3. 6 tablespoons oil for frying

Marinade for pork chop：
1. 1/4 cup soy sauce
2. 1 tablespoon sugar
3. 1 tablespoon wine
4. 3 gloves garlic, chopped
5. dash of ground pepper
6. dash of salt

Dipping Sauce：
1. 3 tablespoons soy sauce
2. 2 tablespoons black vinegar
3. 2 teaspoons sugar
4. 1 teaspoon sesame oil
5. dash of ground pepper
6. 3 gloves garlic, minced
7. 1 small red chili pepper, sectioned (optional)

Directions：
1. Tenderize pork with a meat mallet.
2.  Mix marinade seasonings, then marinate pork for at least 30 minutes.
3. Heat 6 tablespoons frying oil (or just enough oil to reach half thickness of the pork chop) to medium high.  Place sweet potato flour in a shallow dish.  Coat pork chop both sides with sweet potato flour, then pan-fry pork chop until golden brown on both sides; remove.

4. Place the fried pork chop on paper towel to absorb excess oil.  Let cool for 10 minutes, cut pork chop in 1.5 cm wide strips.

5. Mix dipping sauce seasonings, pour over the fried pork chop and serve.

With the sweet potato flour coating, it gives pork chop little crunchiness outside, but tenderness inside.  The dipping sauce makes the fried pork chop taste even more flavorful.
