Pork Recipes

PORK
Ants Climbing a Tree: March 5, 2013
Good with ground beef, but better, I think, with pork; and do try using hot chili sesame oil at the beginning and the end to bump up the heat (and the flavor) just a little bit.

2 boneless pork chops are pounded thin, marinated in buttermilk, then dredged in flour and panko crumbs and baked.
