Crumbed Chinese 7 Spice Pork Chops with Asian Greens and Shiitake

Method:

1. Prepare pork chops by tenderizing with a meat mallet. Bat out until evenly thin (approx 5mm). 

2. In a small mixing bowl combine Chinese 7 Spice, soy sauce and mirin. Mix well and marinate the prok chop in the mix for 1 hour. 

3. Drain pork chops from the extra liquid. Dust in flour, then egg, and then panko crumbs. 

4. Heat a shallow (1cm) amount of oil in the fry-pan and fry each pork chop for 2-3 mins on each side or until cripsy golden brown and cooked through. Set aside and keep warm. 

5. Stir fry Asian greens with both vegetable and sesame oils for 2 mins, then add shiitaki mushrooms and cook for a further minute. 

6. Add oyster sauce and work through the sauce, then remove from the heat. 

7. Place the pork chop onto a serving plate and serve alongside the stir fried Asian greens & mushrooms. Top with sesame seeds. 

Hints & Tips:

To achieve a good 'stir-fry' result, place Asian greens into a hot pan and drizzle a little oil on top. Allow to sear and colour without moving. This will give the singed effect similar to stir fried foods.
