Ingredients

For the pork chops

  • 2 Pork chops
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Oyster sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp White pepper
  • 2 slices Ginger

For the scallion oil

  • 6 stalks Green onion, chopped
  • 1 knob Ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp Sesame seeds
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp White pepper
  • 1/3 cup Oil

Instructions

  • Tenderize the pork chops:
    Use the back of a knife to lightly pound the pork chops. This helps break down the fibers and keeps the meat tender.
  • Marinate the pork:
    Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, cornstarch, white pepper, and ginger slices. Mix well and let sit for at least 10–15 minutes.
  • Make the scallion oil:
    In a bowl, combine chopped green onions, grated ginger, sesame seeds, salt, white pepper, and oil. Mix well and set aside.
  • Sear the pork chops:
    Heat a pan over medium heat with a bit of oil. Cook pork chops for about 4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
  • Add scallion oil:
    Spoon the scallion oil over the pork chops. Cover with a lid and cook on medium-low heat for 1 minute to infuse flavor.
  • Slice and serve:
    Cut into pieces and serve over hot rice, spooning extra scallion oil on top.
