San Francisco Pork Chops
2 thick pork chops (with or without bone) about 1" thick
1 (or more)cloves garlic -- crushed or minced
1 small slice fresh ginger
1/2 cup dry sherry or broth (I used 1/4 c sherry and 1/4 broth)
1/2 cup soy sauce (I used low-sodium soy sauce)
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp vegetable oil
1/4 tsp or more red pepper flakes
I didn't thicken the sauce, but if you want to:
2 tbsp cold water
2 tsp cornstarch
Make sauce from sherry, soy sauce, brown
sugar, oil and red pepper flakes. Set aside
Brown chops, remove from pan and add garlic and ginger.
Cook just until soft--leave in pan and return pork chops to pan.
Pour sauce over chops. Cover and let simmer for about 20 to
30 minutes, until chops are done.
Remove chops from the pan. Combine
cornstarch and water and add to sauce. Cook
until thickened.
