LOVE NOTE #114: Sweet & Awesome Asian Pork Chops



A slow cooker recipe that can be prepared in no time! These are the best recipes!

Ingredients:

  • 4 pork chops (approximately 1 inch thickness)
  • 1/4 white wine (Wine really makes this recipe soooo divine!)
  • 1/8 cup lite soy sauce
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons of ketchup
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 clove of garlic - minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili paste (Sambal Oelek Brand is great! Adds that kick but totally optional! It is sold in my local American Supermarket, Shaw's, in the "ethnic" Asian section!)
Instructions:

  • in a bowl, combine the wine, soy sauce, pepper, garlic powder, vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, minced garlic, and chili paste. Mix until smooth.
  • place the 1 inch pork chops in the slow cooker
  • pour the mixture of the pork chops and cook on low for 4 hours

Optional Sides:

  • Jasmine rice, candied carrots

These came out tender but still firm and succulent! Wait until you take your first bite...


Love,
