Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
6 thick slices fresh ginger, plus 2 teaspoons minced
4 cloves garlic (3 smashed, 1 minced)
2 scallions, cut into thirds, plus sliced scallions for topping
3/4 cup dried shiitake mushrooms
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
4 boneless pork chops (1/2 inch thick; about 4 ounces each)
2 large eggs
1 1/2 pounds fresh ramen noodles
1 5-ounce package baby spinach
Shichimi togarashi (Japanese spice mix), for topping

Steps:

  • Combine the chicken broth, 2 1/2 cups water, the sliced ginger, 3 smashed garlic cloves, 2 cut-up scallions, the shiitake mushrooms, soy sauce and rice wine in a large pot. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and gently simmer, covered, until the mushrooms are soft and the broth is flavorful, 35 to 40 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, combine the hoisin sauce, sesame oil, minced ginger, minced garlic, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Prick the pork chops all over with a fork and add to the bowl; turn to coat. Let marinate at room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Heat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Grill the pork chops until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Thinly slice the pork chops.
  • Bring a separate large pot of water to a boil. Gently add the eggs in their shells, return to a simmer and cook 6 1/2 minutes. Drain and run under cold water. Peel the eggs and cut in half.
  • Return the pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs, stirring often. Drain and divide among 4 bowls.
  • Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a separate pot. Add the spinach and stir to wilt slightly. Ladle the broth and spinach over the noodles and top with the pork, sliced scallions and eggs; season with shichimi togarashi.

1 tablespoon crushed hot red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons boiling water
1/2 cup Japanese soy sauce
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup rice wine or 1/4 cup dry sherry
1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup canola oil or 1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons finely chopped ginger or 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon finely ground fresh black pepper
8 garlic cloves, peeled, halved, germ removed and finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped scallion, white and green portions
16 (1/4 inch) pork chops, about 2 ounces each
about 1/4 cup canola oil or vegetable oil
1/4 cup black sesame seed
1/2 cup finely chopped scallion, white and green portions
4 cups rehydrated bean threads or 4 cups white rice
1 head bibb lettuce or 1 head other lettuce
1/4 cup cilantro leaf
2 red bell peppers, seeds and membranes removed, thinly sliced
1/4 cup sriracha asian garlic sauce or 1/4 cup sambal oelek chili paste

Steps:

  • Combine all the marinade ingredients except the pepper flakes and scallions in a blender. Blend until well combined. Stir in the scallions, pepper flakes and soaking water.
  • Place chops in an extra-large resealable bag. Pour the marinade over chops, squeeze out any excess air from bag and close. Roll the bag to evenly coat all the meat. Refrigerate at least 12 hours or up to 24.
  • Preheat grates of a well-oil charcoal or gas grill to medium-high. Remove the chops from the marinade, letting any excess marinade remain in the bag, Lightly pat dry with paper towels. Reserve 1 cup marinade for glazing the chops. Place the reserved 1 cup marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Using a brush, coat chops with canola oil.
  • Place chops on grill in batches, keeping the lid open, turning frequently during the cooking time and brushing with the remaining marinade. Cook until chops are completely glazed and well marked with char, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove chops from grill and sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions. Serve chops immediately, family style, with bean threads, cilantro, bell peppers and chile paste placed upon lettuce leaves.

THIN PAN-SEARED PORK CHOPS



Thin Pan-Seared Pork Chops image

Double-thick pork chops always look appetizing, but unless they are cooked perfectly, they tend to be dry, regardless of whether you grill or bake them. That's especially true if they are lean loin chops. But skinny chops cooked over high heat on the stovetop are far more apt to come out juicy. Giving them an hour in quickly made brine adds even more flavor and tenderness. Ask your butcher to cut thin chops that weigh 4 to 5 ounces.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup granulated or brown sugar
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
12 black peppercorns, lightly crushed
6 allspice berries, lightly crushed
8 thin, bone-in pork chops, also known as breakfast chops, 4 to 5 ounces each (about 2 1/2 pounds total)
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and black pepper
5 ounces baby arugula (about 4 cups), or a mixture of arugula, tender parsley leaves and mint leaves
Pecorino cheese, for shaving (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare the brine: In a nonreactive large bowl or large deep baking dish, combine salt, sugar, bay leaves, coriander, peppercorns and allspice. Stir in 8 cups cold water to dissolve salt and sugar.
  • Add pork chops to brine, making sure they are well submerged, and refrigerate. Leave chops in brine for 1 to 2 hours. Remove from brine, pat dry and bring to room temperature. Discard brine.
  • Make the dressing for the herb salad: Whisk together lemon juice, zest and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Put 2 large cast-iron skillets over medium-high heat and film each pan lightly with oil. (Alternatively, use a large cast-iron griddle or ridged stovetop grill.) When oil is hot, add chops in one layer without crowding.
  • Cook for about 4 minutes, until chops are nicely browned, then turn and cook for about 3 minutes more, until firm to the touch. Transfer to a warm platter.
  • Put herb salad leaves in a shallow bowl and season lightly with salt. Toss leaves with half the dressing, just to coat. Place dressed salad on top of pork chops. Drizzle remaining dressing over the top, add shavings of pecorino cheese (if using), and serve.

ASIAN MARINATED PORK CHOPS



Asian Marinated Pork Chops image

This is one of my favorite marinades to use for grilled pork chops. I usually just throw ingredients as I see fit, so the measurements are estimates. The roasted red chili paste can be found in the Asian section of your grocery store.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup soy sauce
½ cup brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon roasted red chili paste
6 (1-inch thick) pork chops

Steps:

  • Place the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, cumin, and chili paste in a large, heavy plastic zipper bag. Smush the bag a few times with your fingers to mix all the ingredients thoroughly and dissolve the brown sugar; place the pork chops into the marinade, and seal the bag. Allow to marinate for 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove the pork chops from the marinade, and discard the marinade. Shake off excess marinade, and grill the pork chops until browned, the meat is no longer pink inside, and the chops show good grill marks, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chop should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Tips:

  • To achieve perfectly charred pork chops, ensure your skillet is screaming hot before adding the meat. This will create a flavorful crust while preventing the chops from sticking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork chops are cooked to your desired doneness. The internal temperature should reach 145°F for medium-rare, 155°F for medium, and 165°F for well-done.
  • Allow the pork chops to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat.
  • Feel free to experiment with different marinades and sauces to create unique flavor profiles. The possibilities are endless!

Conclusion:

These charred thin Asian pork chops are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your desired level of spiciness. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables, for a complete meal. So next time you're looking for a quick and flavorful meal, give these pork chops a try. You won't be disappointed!
