The chops in their marinade, before cooking (above)
After cooking the chops are deliciously tender & tasty !The marinade for these pork chops is quick & easy to throw together – you could even make it the day before you plan to cook them, and leave the chops marinating in the fridge overnight.
You can serve these with fresh vegetables and some boiled or mashed potatoes on the side - my husband likes his with noodles !
Sweet & Sticky Pork Loin Chops
4 tbsp Tomato Sauce (Ketchup)
4 tbsp Honey
2 tbsp Ketchap Manis (Sweet Soy Sauce)*
2 tbsp Onions, finely chopped
1 tbsp Soy Sauce
4 – 6 cloves Garlic, crushed (or equivalent in dried garlic flakes)
Pepper to taste
500 gm Pork Loin Chops
Oil for frying
Mix all the ingredients together in an ovenproof glass dish. Add the pork loin chops & turn them to coat well. Cover, & allow to marinade for a few hours or overnight (in the fridge). Then remove chops from marinade, shake off excess and lightly pan fry them in oil on both sides until brown (around 10 minutes).
Remove from the oil, place back in the marinade (turning to coat well), cover & place in the oven at 190’C/375’F/Gas Mark 5 to bake for 30 minutes. Halfway through cooking, turn the chops over& baste them with the marinade to keep them succulent & well flavoured.

*Thanks to Elenka for sending this info in about the Ketchap Manis -: "Ketchap Manis is an Indonesian sweet style soy sauce that is used in stir-fries and many savoury dishes. A quick substitute can be made by mixing together 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of dark brown sugar."
