Questions & Replies

  1. Is this meal for boneless pork chops? It does not say. Thanks!
     
  2. Can this recipe be made in a slow cooker? If so, how long would it take for eight 3/4 inch pork chops?

  1. These were wonderful ~ the reason why everyone is having trouble with dryness is because they NEED to be covered. Anytime you are baking in the oven & you don't want something to dry out it HAS to be covered. Then about 10 min. before it's done it can be uncovered to brown
     
  2. The name says it all. I read all of the reviews, and some said bake, some said use the skillet. I did it both ways. 6 minutes browning, 10 minutes sauteing, 20 minutes in the oven, all in the same oven-proof skillet. I used low sodium Soy sauce, and instead of dry ginger and garlic salt, I minced 1/2 tsp. of fresh ginger and two garlic cloves, thus reducing sodium and keeping my doctor happy. The taste was to die for, but the lower sodium was to live for.
     
  3. This is still one of our favorite dishes. I just made them a few minutes ago. Here is my latest. I did thme on the stove top. I oiled my cast iron skillet with canola, enough to cover. Seasoned my chops with my favorite seasoning, and browned chops each side about 4 minutes. In the meantime, I mixed my other ingredients for the sauce. Which I recommend highly that you double. If you don't there is no way there will be enough sauce and you will be disappointed. I too, like another reviewer used garlic powder instead of garlic salt. I then removed chops from skillet and added more oil to cover the skillet. Put chops back in the skillet, reduced heat to medium, poured sauce over chops, covered skillet with lid, and cooked on medium for about 15-20 minutes (thin chops), turning and basting with the sauce in skillet about 3 times. Served with rice and broccoli. I love this recipe!! Thanks!
     
  4. I have to give this recipe 5 stars simply because of the base ingredients, but I have to say there is a much better and simpler way to prepare this dish. Mix all the ingredients together for the sauce and set aside. Brown your pork chops (I use boneless pork chops), then pour the sauce over the pork chops, let it remain at a high heat for just a couple of minutes, until the sauce is really bubbly. Then cover the skillet and turn down the heat to medium-low. Let cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until they reach 165 degrees. They turn out so moist and the flavor is amazing. I find when you follow the original recipe, it A) takes to long and B) the sauce really doesn't stick to the meat. This is one of our families favorite meals and it is so easy to make.
     
  5. Made as directed with these exceptions....Made entire recipe in my large skillet on the stove top. After browning of the chops, simmered all for 30-45 mins covered. Used the sauce over the top of white rice. 5 stars for Yummy Yummy Pork Chops

  1. Hi Wife2uRick! Your additions and method sound wonderful. If I may, I would like to make a suggestion. I have done some research on Canola oil, and found out that it is not healthy at all. It is made from rape seed (not grape) which most of the crops have been genetically modified. Try using avocado oil, or grapeseed oil instead. Here's to your health!
     
  2. Yummy indeed! I usually don't like pork chops, but this recipe made them taste great. Thank you to the reviewers for your helpful advice: 1) brine the pork chops in salt and water prior to cooking, 2) switching from garlic salt to garlic powder, 3) using less soy sauce or going with low sodium, 4) adding cornstarch to thicken the sauce, 5) making double or triple the amount of sauce suggested, and 6) recommending to cover the dish when cooking. I was nervous about making this after reading some of the negative reviews, but the sauce was full of flavor and pork chops were very tender. I will definitely make this again.
     
  3. These were a hit. I almost doubles but not quite. I would also use garlic powder instead of garlic salt. A little too salty for my family's liking. Also, I would not bake for 1 hour. That's way too long. I followed all directions and browned chops in a pan first, but baked for 1/2 hour for 1/4" chops. I think 25 minutes would have been perfect as far as the cooking time. The taste was delicious! I will indeed keep this recipe handy for future reference!
     
  4. I doubled the ingredients for the sauce. I used garlic powder instead of garlic salt. And I also added about 1 teaspoon of sesame oil for flavor. After browning the chops in the pan on the stove top, I drained off all the fat, then added the sauce and reduced the temp to low, covered and cooked everything on the stove top for about 7-8 minutes until the pork tested done. I took the pork out of the pan and thickened the sauce with a cornstarch slurry, then put the pork chops back in the pan. We ate it over brown rice and it was fantastic. My guest loved it. This will make my regular rotation.
     
  5. We enjoyed this... in fact, it tastes just like the BBQ pork in the BBQ Pork Fried Rice we order as Chinese take-out (except it isn't as dry)! It was super easy to throw together and it smelled wonderful baking. I made as directed, except I used BBQ sauce instead of ketchup in the sauce. It was a little bit salty, so I would use a low-sodium soy sauce next time.
