Breaded Asian Pork


I love having a food processor and I love experimenting with new flavors I can add to my protein.  I found myself getting bored with the same old recipes involving chicken.  I wanted to branch out and experiment with a lot of different flavors by creating my own glazes, sauces, and rubs.  When I threw this dish together, it came out surprisingly delicious.  I hope you enjoy it!  Love having Kyle as my guinea pig.  I know not all of my recipes have pictures but I promise to upload them when I cook them again, which will be soon! There are some grocery items that you must always have on hand in your fridge and in your pantry. Here is a list of what I always have in my kitchen on top of staples such as sugar and flour:

Milk
Bread
Plain bread crumbs
rice
butter
EVOO
heavy cream
Green onions
White or yellow onions
Garlic
Tomato Sauces, Diced tomatoes, Tomato paste
Chicken Broth, Beef Broth
Chicken Stock
Corn Starch
Rice Wine Vinegar

Ingredients

2 lean thick cut pork chops boneless (about 1 inch thick)
1 cup of bread crumbs
1 tablespoon of Hoisin Sauce
2 tablespoon of soy sauce
2 teaspoon of rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup of green onions chopped


  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. In a food processor, pulse together the green onions, vinegar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce until consistency is like a runny paste.  
  3. Brush all sides of the pork with the sauce and cover with bread crumbs
  4. In a large skillet, over medium high heat, brown the pork chops until the bread crumbs are a golden brown.
  5. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 15 minutes
  6. Serve with ginger rice

Recipe for Ginger Rice

2 cups of steamed rice
2 tablespoons of minced ginger
1 carrot thinly sliced and julienned (short and thinly sliced)
1 tablespoon of white rice

  1. In a small skillet, melt the butter and add in the ginger and carrots.  Toss and heat for about 5 minutes
  2. Mix the ginger and carrots into your steamed white rice

I absolutely love this dish at Cheesecake Factory.  Unfortunately, now that I know how to make it, I rarely order it.  My go to order at CF is the Chicken Farfallle Pasta.  I have that recipe somewhere too.  I'll have to make it again so I can put down on paper the amount of seasoning and ingredients I use.

Crawfish, Sausage, and Shrimp Etouffee

This is my great recipe for hosting a group of about 10 people.  So yummy!  I made it for a work pot luck and got the stamp of approval from a native Louisiannan!  One thing I find hard to communicate in writing down my recipes is the amount of spices to put in.  Like most people, I just season to taste.  I will try my best to estimate the amount of spices but I will do it on the low end to be safe.  Nothing will ruin a dish like over spicing.  You can modify this dish with whatever protein you want.  If you can't get the crawfish skip it.  I'm lucky enough to have a mom that buys crawfish by the pounds, peels, and freezes them.  Whenever I come home, she always fills up one of those styrofoam coolers for me full of shrimp, crawfish, meats, and soups.  Again, customize this based on what you like.  The most important thing you get right is the roux.  For one party, I made a separate pot of étouffée with just sausage for th...

Better than Cracker Barrel Chicken and Dumplings

So this weekend we were trapped within the confines of our apartment with nowhere to go because of the icy road conditions.  The 27 degree temperature mixed with rain and sleet caused a school closing on Friday.  I was unaware that I would be stuck at home for the entire weekend due to unfavorable and unsafe road conditions.  In addition to that, I would have to tend to a sick husband.  I attempted to swing by the grocery store late Friday morning but the entire meat section was almost obsolete.  I picked up a few items to get me through the long weekend which included: Nyquil, red nail polish for the holiday season, a bag of chips, a gallon of Blue Bell ice cream, and some staples for baking.  With the freezing temperatures outside, I wanted to cook something hot like chili or pho.  Although I would have loved to spend my entire morning prepping and cooking pho, I did not have the necessary ingredients.  Then it dawned on me:  Chicken and du...
