Prepare the pork

Sprinkle the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides and make cuts in the fat to prevent curling.

1

Fry sliced garlic

Cut garlic into thin slices. Heat a frying pan on medium low and add oil. Fry the garlic slices until golden and crispy.

2

Set garlic aside

Transfer the crispy garlic chips to a sheet of kitchen paper to absorb the excess oil.

3

Fry the pork

Increase the heat to medium and add the pork to the pan. Fry in the garlic infused oil with the lid on for 3 minutes.

4

Flip the pork

Flip and fry on the other side with the lid on for 3 minutes (or until cooked through).

5

Rest

Transfer the cooked pork chops to a plate and cover with foil. Allow to rest until serving time.

6

Make sauce

In the same pan, add Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, mirin, honey and butter. Lower heat and simmer until thickened.

7

Cut pork

Cut the pork chops into slices so that they're easy to eat with chopsticks.

8

Dish up

Drizzle the pork chops with the sauce and top with garlic chips. Serve with shredded cabbage and rice.
