  • 900 g/2 lb pork chops

  • 30 ml/2 tbsp corn-flour (cornstarch)

  2. Pour over the pork and stir to coat it completely. Cover and leave to marinate for 2 hours, turning occasionally.

  3. Heat the oil and deep-fry the pork until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on kitchen paper.

  4. Cut the pork into thick slices, transfer to a warmed serving dish and keep warm.

  5. Mix together the stock and remaining soy sauce in a small pan. Bring to the boil and pour over the sliced pork. Serve garnished with mixed pickles.
