Recipe: Red-Cooked Pork Chops (oven or grill)

RED-COOKED PORK CHOPS

"Red" is a Chinese style of cooking whereby food is cooked with soy sauce, rendering it a dark red. It is typically flavored with five spice. Serve with warm flour tortillas, hot cooked rice with green onions and Tossed Salad With Orange Vinaigrette.

4 boneless pork chops, about 3/4-inch thick
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons minced onion
2 teaspoons five spice
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, crushed

In large self-sealing bag, mix together brown sugar, hoisin, soy sauce, Worcestershire, sesame oil, onion, five spice, ginger and garlic. Add pork chops, seal bag and toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours.

Prepare medium-hot fire in kettle-style grill. Drain chops, discarding marinade. Grill chops over direct heat for 8-10 minutes, turning once. Alternatively, place in a shallow roasting pan and roast at 400 degrees F. for 20-25 minutes.
