Pan Fried Pork Chops

Pan Fried Pork Chops

When I lived in the US, pork chops were very common, and even better was pork steaks with milk gravy, but for where I live now, pork chops are not common outside of touristy areas, and I do not live near those. So an alternative, just buy a pork loin and cut into 1 inch thick chops, problem solved. I will adjust the cook times when I make these. For bone in thick cut chops, the cook time is perfect. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.

Ingredients
  

  • 6-8 pork loin chops, about 1 inch thick
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoned Salt, OR make from a shortcut
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup cooking oil, rice bran oil would be good
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Rinse pork chops. Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops.
  • Combine all dry ingredients. Dredge each side of the pork chops in the flour mixture, then set aside on a plate.
  • Heat oil over medium heat. Add butter. When butter is melted and butter/oil mixture is hot, cook 3 pork chops at a time, 2 to 3 minutes on the first side; 1 to 2 minutes on the other side. Chops should be browned and no pink juices remain. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining chops.
  • Serve with your favorite sides, like mashed potatoes, rice, long beans, etc.

Notes

Pork loin at Tesco would run about 115 Baht/kilo, slice yourself into chops. I cannot price this until I try to see how many thick chops from a kilo of loin. I also found thick cut bone in chops in Tesco recently, 100 Baht/250 gram chops. This is $2.95 per serving.
