Ingredients

  • 60 g (½ cup) cornflour
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 8 cream crackers, crushed to the consistency of fine breadcrumbs
  • 4 pork chops
  • 750 ml (3 cups) canola oil, for shallow frying
  • thick oven-baked chips and steamed frozen mixed veggies, to serve
Onion gravy
  • 25 g butter
  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • 2 onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 carrot, cut into 1-cm cubes
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp tomato sauce
  • 500 ml (2 cups) chicken stock
  • 75 g (½ cup) frozen peas
  • 2 tsp cornflour, mixed with 60 ml (¼ cup) cold water
  • black pepper, to season

Instructions

  1. Place the cornflour, eggs and crumbs in separate bowls. Dust the pork chops in the cornflour, then dip in the beaten egg, then into the crumbs, pressing to coat well.
  2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium–high heat to around 175˚C. Fry the chops for about 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked to your liking. Drain on a wire rack.
  3. Meanwhile, for the onion gravy, heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add the butter and oil. Fry the onion for about 3-5 minutes or until starting to brown. Add the garlic and carrot and fry for a further minute. Add the sauces and stock and bring to a simmer. Add the frozen peas and simmer for 1 minute. Add the cornflour mixture and simmer until the sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon. Season with black pepper.
  4. Serve the pork chops with the onion gravy, oven-baked chips and steamed frozen veggies.
