Time 1h50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

4 boneless pork chops (about 1 1/2 lbs)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion
1 inch fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons five-spice powder
4 tablespoons ketjap manis

1 teaspoon salt, divided
canola oil, for frying
2 cups water
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 slice onion

1 tablespoon tomato paste
3 tablespoons ketchup
3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
4 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Dice the onion but keep one slice aside for the sauce.
  • In a bowl, combine the vegetable oil and kecap manis . Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon. Grate the ginger into the bowl then add the five-spice, 1/2 of the salt, garlic and stir well.
  • Add the pork to a large casserole pan. Cover the meat with the chopped onion and pour the marinade over. Marinate the pork for 2 hours.
  • Transfer the pork to a large heavy lidded pan. Add the marinade and onions to the pan.
  • Add the remainder of the salt and pour enough water in there so that the pork is covered by 1/2 inch of liquid. Simmer over low heat with the lid on for 60 minutes. Flip the steaks halfway through the cooking process. Turn off the heat and allow the pork to cool in the pan. (At this point, you can refrigerate pork chops to finish at another time. Remember to chill onion slice as well).
  • Next, mince the slice of onion you set aside and the garlic. Heat the oil and saute the onion and garlic until they soften. Don't brown them.

  • Dab the pork steaks completely dry with a clean paper towel. Heat the oil to 355 degrees F and fry the steaks for 1 minute each side. They will almost blacken.
  • Slice the pork and serve along with sauce. White rice and acar campur (Indonesian pickled vegetables) work well with the pork.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of pork cuts: Different cuts of pork have different flavors and textures, so using a mix will give your dish a more complex flavor profile.
  • Marinate the pork overnight: This will help the pork absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more tender.
  • Use a hot grill: A hot grill will help to sear the pork and give it a nice smoky flavor.
  • Cook the pork over indirect heat: This will help to prevent the pork from drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork: The pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork rest before slicing: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Chinese grilled pork is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. With its smoky flavor and tender texture, it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to cook pork, give this recipe a try!
