Pork Chops Braised with Cider Vinegar





Yields
Makes 4 servings

Lisa Pan's mother, who grew up in Shanghai, taught her this flavorful treatment for pork chops.

 1 tablespoon salad oil
 4 center-cut loin pork chops (about 1 in. thick; about 7 oz. each)
 1 red onion (about 10 oz.), peeled, halved, and thinly slivered lengthwise
 2 cloves garlic, minced
 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
 1 tablespoon soy sauce
 1 tablespoon honey
  Salt and pepper
Step 1

Pour oil into a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add pork chops and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes total. Transfer to a plate. Add onion and garlic to pan. Stir frequently until onion is limp, about 5 minutes.
