AMAZING flavorful recipe. I didn't have five spice, so after some research I substituted 1/4 teaspoon each of fennel, ginger, cinnamon, and clove plus a dash of cayenne. I highly recommend cooking rice in the leftover liquid. This works well for thinner chops too with greatly decreased cook time.
These are delicious flavors. I marinate the chops all day in the spices then fry them and set them aside to rest and then just throw in the garlic and ginger for a minute and deglaze with the liquid. And I use mirin instead of wine.
Great recipe! My broth ran dry though. We will start with more liquid next time.
Too salty. Tough.
Brine the pork chop first
