Improvised asian pork chops

These pork chops were a spur of the moment thing. We used what we had on hand and they turned out very delectable.



The marinade was;
lots of soy sauce
a couple of cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
a dash of ginger powder (because we didn't have any fresh)
a generous table spoon of homemade orange marmalade, very finely chopped (because the sister doesn't like it) *devilish*

In hindsight a little chopped chili would have been nice too.

We prepared the chops with a generous sprinkling of Dayong powder* on both sides and let them sit in the marinade for half an hour.
The chops were cooked about four minutes on both sides and left to rest under aluminum foil whilst the leftover marinade was used to make a sauce. I just let the marinade and a splash of white wine reduce in the pan that was used to cook the chops. Then I stirred in cold butter and adjusted the seasoning.

Served in slices with a few waxy potato and salad. Sorry, no pictures. We were sooo hungry.

*This is my fathers secret ingredient for cooking meats of all kind. It's an Asian (I think Chinese) spice mixture that gives the dish a more rounded flavor with a hint of exotic. But it doesn't really dominate the taste of the dish.
