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.
Shortcut: Lawry's Seasoned Salt.
