This is a fun recipe I would make again. The sauce has more complexity in flavor than the few ingredients would suggest and paired perfectly with the pork chops. (I used the sherry option). The cooking time needed to be increased, but it may have been the large chops I used. I simmer them around 20 minutes and they were fork tender. Made for ZWT6.

This recipee was excxellent. I would definitly make sure to use the green onions. I have a sort of large family all over 6 feet tall and we were still a little hungry after the four pork chops so in the future I might double the recipe to eight pork chops. Still an excellent recipe.

These chops were very good and so simple to make. I will def. be making these again. Make sure you use the green onions, because they add that little extra flavor! So Good.
