Chinese Sweet and Sour Pork Chops with Yellow Bell Pepper

Serve 4

4 x Pork Chops
1 medium onion, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper (yellow capsicum), cut into long strips
2 tbsp green peas
4 tbsp oil
1/2 cup water
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 1/2 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tbsp tomato ketchup (I use Heinz)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Corn starch water (mix 1 tbsp water with 1 1/2 tsp corn starch in a bowl)

Method

Heat 3 tbsp of oil in a frying pan and pan fry pork chops until brown on both sides and cooked through (approximately 3 minutes on each side depending on the thickness of your chops).

Remove and place them on a serving plate.

Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a wok or a sauce pan, stir fry the onion until soft, add yellow bell pepper and green peas and stir fry for a further minute.

Add water, rice wine vinegar, sugar, ketchup, salt, Worcestershire sauce; bring to a boil.

Add corn starch water to thicken the sauce.

Pour the sauce over the pork chops and serve immediately with steamed rice.

  1. Great recipe and only takes 30 minutes to make. I added some pineapple juice and apple cider vinegar because I didn't have white wine vinegar and it still tasted really good.
