The favorite question asked almost everyday that is probably the hardest to answer is "What's for Dinner" When the family would ask that dreaded question, I would say... I don't know what is for dinner? This way it would get the family thinking about what was their favorite meal and they would bring up suggestions. One of the favorites I would get is the "Spicy Pork Chops over Noodles". It was easy to make and a very enjoyable comfort food. I would usually serve it along side asparagus or corn with a dinner roll. Here is the recipe I would use.
Spicy Pork Chops over Noodles:
4-6 Pork Chops
1 t olive oil
4 cups of egg noodles
Spicy Sauce Recipe includes
1/4c or apple juice or orange juice
2T brown sugar
2T soy sauce
2T honey mustard
1T worchestire
1/2 t red pepper flakes
1/2 t white pepper
1/2 t cayenne pepper
dash of hot pepper sauce
In a small bowl whisk all the sauce ingredients except cornstarch and water and set aside.
Cook your egg noodles as directed on package
In a Large Skillet, heat the oil on med-high heat and add your chops.. Brown on both sides about 2-3 mins a side. Once browned pour your prepared sauce over the top, cover, reduce heat to low and cook through about 10-15mins. Add water if sauce becomes too thick or cooks down.
When noodles are finished boiling, drain and place in a large serving platter, remove the cooked pork chops and place on top of the noodles. In a small bowl whisk together the cornstarch and water, turn the heat to medium on your sauce and whisk in the cornstarch mixture until it's thickened. (about 2 mins) Pour the sauce over the pork chops and garnish with chopped green scallions or red/green peppers if desired.
This is a very nice sweet, sour, spicy dish that the family will be asking for more.
As I sit here and type I'm thinking I need to start providing pictures with the recipes, so as I make more dishes, I will start taking pictures and posting along with the recipes. May you enjoy your pork chops and cook on til next time! :)
