SLICED PORK CHOP WITH SUGAR SNAP PEAS


After my brother-in-law was admitted to the hospital due to heart attack, I have learned that eating healthy is very important to all of us. That's why now I'm following my sister advised to eat more organic foods and to a healthy life style.

In this recipe I used organic pork chop, organic sugar snap peas and pure olive oil for cooking. The doctor said that the most healthy oil that we should eat is only olive oil and it can prevent us from having clogging our hearts in the future.



INGREDIENTS :

500 g boneless pork chop
340 g sugar snap peas
2 tsp chopped garlic
60 ml water
2 tsp corn starch
2 tbsp tomato sauce/ketchup
salt & pepper to taste

For Marinate:
2 tsp dark soy sauce
2 tsp light soy sauce
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp sugar
some freshly ground pepper


METHODS :

1. Slice the pork chop into 1/2" thick and pound it with the end of the cleaver or meat pounder slightly to make it more tender to eat. Then mix it well with the marinate ingredients for at least 1/2 hour or more.

2. Heat the wok with 1 tbsp olive oil and stir fry the marinated pork in medium heat until it fully cooked. Dish up and set aside.

3. With the remaining oil in the wok, stir fry the sugar snap peas with some salt and pepper. Dish up and set aside.

4. In a small bowl mix the black soy sauce, light soy sauce, olive oil, sugar and pepper until well combined.

5. In the same wok with medium high heat, add in the sauce and stir until boil and thicken. Then add in the pork and sugar snap peas and stir fry until well mixed and dish up.

6. Serve it hot with white rice.
