Spicy Baked Pork Loin Chops

I love spicy food and tomato, yet never thought about combining these two things together until I came across a Chinese food magazine that was printed in the good old days (1980’s). It enticed me to try. The first time I put this spicy baked pork chops on our dining table, my daughter finished the most. Since then she asks me to make one for her every now and then. She always starts with something like this, “Mom, you haven’t made spicy baked pork loin chops for a long time.” Actually, it’s just a few weeks ago, she did have one. Hmm….

Serves 2

Ingredients:

4 pork loin chops (thick)
2 tomatoes
1 onion

Marinade:

2 cloves garlic (chopped)
1 teaspoon ground black pepper powder
1/3 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 tablespoon corn flour
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 teaspoon salt

Method:

1. Rinse, peel, seed and dice tomato. Shred onion.

2. Mix the marinade ingredients. Add in pork chops and marinate for 2 hours.
