CHINESE STYLE FRIED PORK CHOPS

4 pork chops or pork tenderloins
1 T soy sauce
1 T rice wine
2 t sugar
1/2 t salt
1 dash pepper or five-spice powder
1 T minced garlic
1 egg
6 T cornstarch
oil for frying

Tenderize meat pork with a meat mallet. If you're short on time, pound to at least ¼” thickness or thinner. Mix together all the ingredients except cornstarch and oil and pour over pork. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes. (I've marinated it as long as 1 day and as little as 10 minutes.) Just before frying, pour cornstarch on top of pork and stir into marinade. Heat enough oil in a large skillet to cover bottom. Place pork in pan when oil begins to shimmer. Cook pork chops over med-high heat until cooked through.
