Directions
Chinese Five-Spice-And-Maple-Glazed Pork Chops, For this dish I marinate lean and versatile boneless top loin pork chops (also known as Americas Cut) in five-spice and finish it in a tangy and smooth maple glaze. This dish pairs well with my Asian Pear and Cucumber Slaw. The Asian pear, native to China, Japan and Korea, has a sweet flavor with a crisp texture, marries well with a variety of flavors and is a quick no-cook side dish option. A plastic V-slicer or mandoline will make quick work of cutting the Asian pears and cucumber into matchsticks. Recipe courtesy of Grand Champion of the popular cooking competition, Chopped and recent winner of Iron Chef America Chef Madison Cowan on behalf of the National Pork Board, For this dish I marinate lean and versatile boneless top loin pork chops (also known as Americas Cut) in five-spice and finish it in a tangy and smooth maple glaze.
