Dining Debbie's Way with Whats for Dinner??

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! :)
