There is something about Asian flavours and I can’t get enough. My Orange and Ginger Pork is simple enough to make for your family, but also fares well with company. It has a sweet and sour flavour; add a side of rice and stir fried vegetables and you don’t need takeout.
Asian Flavours
What I love most about Asian food is the new ingredients it brought to my Italian table. Growing up we had the made to please all takeout Chinese food. As I get older, my tastebuds have adapted to more daring tastes. I mix and match, using Vietnamese , Chinese, Japanese and Thai flavours. Also, I adjust the heat to suit my mood of mild, medium or hot. I should warn my husband to watch out for that; good thing he likes spicy food. It’s this fusion of cuisines that intrigues me. Traveling through Italy, there are many Asian style restaurants and so many innovative recipes.

Ingredients for Orange and Ginger Pork
- 6 fast fry pork chops
- 1 large onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 3 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp freshly ground ginger sliced into matchsticks
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 small orange
- 2 tbsp apricot/peach jam
- 2 tsp cornstarch
Process
Place the olive oil and butter in a pan and fry the pork until golden in colour.
Remove the chops and brown the onion, garlic and ginger in the pan. Then return the chops to the pan. In a small bowl combine the sugar, vinegar, salt, pepper and soy sauce.
Pour over chops in pan.
Slice the orange and place one slice over each pork chop. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer on low for 10 minutes.
Then remove the pork chops from the pan and take your sauce and add the cornstarch slurry to it. Pour the sauce over the pork chops. I served the pork chops with a vegetable rice. It was a delicious meal.
