How to prepare it step by step?
Preparation
- Trim any excess fat from each pork chop and gently pound each between two sheets of baking paper until they are about 1cm thick.
- Shape the meat again with your hands so that it is uniform and juicy.
- Dredge each chop in flour, then in beaten egg, and finally in breadcrumbs, ensuring complete coating.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the chops until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- In a small saucepan, combine the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, oyster sauce, and powdered sugar. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens and the flavors meld, about 5 minutes.
- Serve the chops hot, drizzled with the sauce on top or on the side.
