I found this recipe on the internet and tweaked it to my taste. Serve with steamed white or brown rice for a quick dinner. You could use chicken instead of the pork!
Ingredients
- 2 bonless pork chops, about 3/4 lb. total shopping list
- peanut or grapeseed oil, for sauteeing. shopping list
- 2-3 tbs. flour shopping list
- 5-6 cloves garlic, minced shopping list
- 1 tbs. brown sugar shopping list
- 2 tbs. honey shopping list
- 1/4-3/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar, depending on how tangy you like it shopping list
- 2 tsp. cornstarch dissolved in 2 tsp. water shopping list
- chopped cilantro, if desired shopping list
How to make it
- Using a sharp knife, slice the pork into 1/4-inch cutlets and season with a little salt and pepper.
- Put the flour in a shallow dish and dredge the pork in it, shaking off excess.
- On medium high, heat enough oil to come up 1/4-inch on your saute pan and brown cutlets in batches, about 2 minutes per side, being careful not to crowd the pan.
- Remove cutlets to a plate and cover with foil.
- If pan has blackened spots in it, wipe it out and start with fresh oil, heated on medium high.
- Add garlic with a pinch of salt and a splash of vinegar and cook about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Quickly mix the brown sugar and honey together and add to the pan, then the rice vinegar--add about 1/2 of what you think you might like, you can always add more.
- Stir cornstarch and water together and pour into pan, stirring to thicken the sauce just a bit.
- At this point taste the sauce; add more vinegar if you like, or more honey if you want it sweeter.
- Return the cutlets to the pan and turn them to warm them through and coat them in the sauce.
- Serve over steamed rice, garnished with the chopped cilantro, if desired.

I thought this was pretty good, but it was too sweet for my wife.
