Steps

1. 1

   Wipe or rinse off any bone residue from the pork chops and tenderize with the dull edge of a cleaver or pound with a meat tenderizer

   Make 2-3 indent cuts on the edge of the pork chop to prevent curling during frying

   Make marinade by mixing together 2 tsp light soy sauce, 1 tsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp dark soy sauce, ½ tsp sugar, ¼ tsp white pepper powder, 2 tsp corn starch and one egg. Mix well The egg will not only help tenderize the pork, it’ll also help to give your pork chop a nice golden brown colour after frying
