500g Taiwan Pork Collar (sliced into ½ inch-thin chops)
1 tbsp Light Soy Sauce
1 tbsp Oyster Sauce
1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
½ tsp Dark Soy Sauce
½ tsp Sugar
½ tsp White Pepper
1 tsp Cornstarch
1 tbsp Cooking Oil
1 tbsp Shaoxing Wine

1 tbsp Tomato Ketchup
1 tbsp Oyster Sauce
1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp Light Soy Sauce

Method
  1. Mix all marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add pork chops and coat evenly. Marinate for at least 30 mins, preferably a few hours or overnight.
  2. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat, add a splash of oil, and sear pork chops for 1.5–2 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
  3. Remove pork and set aside.
  4. In a small pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  5. Add coarsely grounded black pepper, ketchup, oyster sauce, Worcestershire sauce, light soy sauce and sugar. Stir to combine.
  6. Add water and simmer for 1–2 minutes till it thickens slightly.
    Optional: If you want a glossy, thicker sauce, add cornstarch slurry and simmer until thickened.
  7. Return pork chops to the pan. Spoon sauce over each side until well-coated.
  8. Serve immediately with crinkle cut fries, baked beans, coleslaw and a fried butter roll.
