Sweet and spicy pork chops

Pork is a versatile meat that nearly any flavor used on beef or chicken can be applied.  It also tends to be a cheap.  Our sauce pan only fits two pork chops; you can easily make more for leftovers if your pan is bigger or use pork cut into bite-sized pieces to increase the number of servings.

Ingredients:
  • 2 bone-in pork loin chops (or any cut of pork really)
  • brown sugar
  • honey
  • salt
  • fresh or dried minced ginger
  • chili powder
  • red pepper flakes
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • olive oil
  • egg noodles
Instructions:
  • Put egg noodles in a pot of water and set to boil on the back-burner according to package instructions.
  • Cover bottom of pan with olive oil, heat to medium-low and put in pork chops. 
  • Drizzle both sides with brown sugar, honey, salt, pepper, fresh diced ginger, chili powder. 
  • Cook until not raw, turning pork chops occasionally to allow for even browning.
  • Turn up the heat once cooked to sear the pork chops a bit and then reduce heat back to low.
  • Add Worcestershire, more brown sugar, and dried ginger to create a sauce in the pan.  Stir occasionally while simmering.  Taste and add more ingredients as needed (more brown sugar for a sweeter sauce, more chili powder for a spicier one).  Sauce will not get thicker; I prefer a thinner sauce with this recipe.  Cornstarch can be added if desired.
  • Serve with egg noodles.
