Ingredients
Scale
- 0.8 lb boneless pork chops from pork tenderloin, 2 pieces (about 0.4 lb each, 1–1¼-inch thick before pounding)
- ½ tsp garlic granules or 3 cloves grated garlic
- ¼ tsp ginger powder or 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1 tsp coarse sea salt
- ½ tsp ground white pepper
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- ½ tsp five-spice powder
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- ½ tsp sugar
- 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tbsp michiu clear rice cooking wine, or shaoxing wine
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup thick sweet potato starch or coarse sweet potato starch

Instructions
- Begin by marinating the pork chops. Combine garlic, ginger, sea salt, white pepper, black pepper, five-spice powder, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, rice cooking wine, and egg in a bowl.
- Add the pork chops to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
- After marination, remove the pork chops from the fridge and let them come to room temperature.
- Coat each chop with sweet potato starch, ensuring an even layer.
- Heat avocado oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, fry the pork chops until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes on each side, depending on thickness.
- Once done, remove from pan and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For the best flavor, marinate overnight.
