Pork Chops with Onion Sauce

Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lb thin-cut pork chops
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped ginger
  • 1 shallot sliced
  • ¼ tsp sea salt plus extra
  • ½ tsp white pepper
  • 1 tbsp neutral-flavored oil & some extra for cooking
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • ¼ tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice optional
  • 1 small yellow onions sliced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tsp cornstarch divided
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley optional
  • 3 stalks green onions diced
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Pat dry the pork chops. In a large bowl, add the pork chops, chopped ginger, sliced shallot, salt, white pepper, oil, soy sauce, sugar, and lemon juice. Combine and marinade for at least 30 minutes or overnight.  Keep the marinated pork chops in the refrigerator if marinating overnight.
  • Add one teaspoon of cornstarch to the marinated pork chops and mix well right before cooking.
  • In a large pan, heat two teaspoons of oil. If using a non-stick pan, there is no need to add oil. Sear the pork chops for 2 minutes on each side. Transfer the pork chops to a plate.
  • In the same pan, add a touch of oil, if needed. Sauté the sliced onions until they are soft, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
  • Add the chicken broth and bring it to a low simmer. Return the pork chops to the pan and simmer for 3 minutes.
  • While the pork chops simmer in the sauce, make a cornstarch slurry by mixing one teaspoon of cornstarch with one tablespoon of water.
  • Add the cornstarch slurry to the pan and incorporate. Cook for 2 minutes.
  • Finish with diced green onions and chopped parsley.
