Porkchop with Mushroom and Oyster Sauce

Porkchop with Mushroom and Oyster Sauce. This is the pork version of a similar dish T-bone Steak with Mushroom and Oyster Sauce that was posted a few months back. As I have mentioned on that post I have to make a porkchop version and using canned button mushroom instead of fresh mushrooms. Pinoy would rather use canned musroom which is readily available instead of the pricey fresh ones. Cooking is similar to the beef version which involved to stages of cooking, pre-frying the porkchops then cooking it with the sauce.

Oyster sauce in Pinoy cooking has now become one of the must have in Pinoy kitchen for the reasons that oyster sauce could be used to most Pinoy dishes from the usual pansit to braised meat. You won’t go wrong with oyster sauce just be reminded that some of the oyster sauce in the market are very salty. Here is the recipe of my Porkchop with Mushroom and Oyster Sauce.

Ingredients:

4-6 pcs. pork chops
2 big cans, button mushroom, sliced
1/3 cup oyster sauce
1 small size onion chopped
3-4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tbsp. dried parsley flakes
2 tbsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. sugar
1 tbsp. coarsely ground peppercorns
salt
cooking oil

Cooking procedure:

Dash the pork chops with salt and keep aside. Heat 1 to 2 tbsp. of cooking oil in a medium size frying pan. Fry the pork chops for about 3 to 5 minutes each side do not over fry, keep aside. To make the sauce, heat the same frying pan with all the pork chops residue, add in the garlic and stir fry for about a minute now add in the onion and parsley, stir cook for another minute. Add in the oyster sauce and about 3/4 to 1 cup of water and sugar bring to a quick boil and let simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, correct saltiness if required. Add more water if salty. Add in the mushroom and continue to stir cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Thicken sauce with cornstarch diluted in 1/4 cup of water, cook for another minute or until sauce has thicken. Now add in the fried porkchops a let cook for about 1 to 2 minutes to let the sauce infused to the meat. Serve immediately with mashed potato or rice.
