Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams Pork Chops
  • 3 tbsp Cooking Oil
  • 8 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 2 medium Onions (sliced into rings)
  • 1/3 cup Soy Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons Calamansi Juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper (ground)
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 cup Water

Instructions
 

  • Combine soy sauce, calamansi juice, minced garlic, black pepper, and sugar in a bowl. Add the pork chops and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for better flavor.
  • After marinating, remove the pork chops from the marinade (reserve the marinade) . Set aside for later use.
  • Heat the cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion rings until they become soft and slightly caramelized. Set aside onion rings for garnish.
  • In the same pan, heat a tablespoon of cooking oil and sear the marinated pork chops. Sear each side for about 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned. Set aside.
  • In the same pan, heat a tablespoon of cooking oil and sauté the minced garlic and onion core from the onion rings.
  • Pour the reserved marinade and water into the pan. Add the pork chops back in, then cover and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the pork chops are tender.
  • Once the pork is tender top it with the sautéed onions, and serve with steamed rice.
