Baked Pork Chops Rice

This is one of my favourite dishes- it took a little longer to make (2hrs) as there were too many preparation but once done, its all worth it!

Ingredients to serve 6 people:

8 Pork chops

1 Large Onion (chopped)

6 Tomatoes (chopped)

Ketchup

Worcestershire Sauce

Mirin (Chinese wine)

1/2 cup of Water

Salt, Sugar and Grounded Pepper

2 Garlic cloves (minced)

Breadcrumbs

Potato starch

Oil (enough for shallow frying)

3 Eggs

Rice (left over night for fried rice)

Red Cheddar Cheese (optional)

For the pork:

Add 2 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp pepper, 1 tbsp mirin and garlic to the pork. Mix well and let marinate in fridge for at least 30mins.

After 30 mins, add 1 egg to pork and mix well then cover pork in breadcrumbs.

Heat wok/ shallow frying pan and fry the pork for 10- 15mins or until golden (don't over cook as you will be putting this in oven to cook through).

Set aside on cooling rack.

For the sauce:

In a medium heated pan, saute onions until see through then add tomatoes. Cook until soft then add 3 tbsp ketchup and 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce. Add 1/2 cup of water and let braise in low heat for 10-15mins. Add starch to thicken sauce (only at the very end).

For the fried rice:

Heat wok til its smoking then add 2 beaten eggs. Add rice and stirfry, adding salt and pepper to taste.

Preheat oven Gas Mark 5.

In an oven proof dish, pour in the fried rice. Put pork chops on top of the rice in a single layer and add the sauce evenly. Sprinkle some cheese on top (optional) and bake in oven for 20mins.
