Dinner and a Movie

[wolven7]

Dinner: mech_angel marinated some pork chops in thick soy sauce, rice wine vineagar, wasabi, ginger, and garlic.

She cooked some jasmine rice.

I sauteéd some green beans in butter, olive oil, garlic, ginger, thick soy, and then steamed them in a little water.

I seared the pork chops in the cast-iron skillet (call it 4 minutes per side), and then pan roasted them, in the oven (call it five minutes). If you add the marinade as a pan sauce/glaze, be sure to cook the sauce, completely (raw pork juices, donchaknow).

Slice up the pork chops, mix with the green beans, over low heat, and then serve, with rice.

You might want to either use more thick soy on your rice, or make more of a marinade to keep separate from the raw pork, for use as a pan sauce; the residual cooked sauce didn't transfer that well.

Watching the Dark City: Director's Cut. Only 30 minutes in, and it's Beautiful. Completly masterful.

Beer (Samuel Adams Hefeweizen), and movie, now.

Bon appetite.

Try adding chicken broth to the marinade if you want to use it as a sort of sauce. This will keep the consistency more of a sauce type thing. If you want to make the sauce with the leavings in the pan, then dump a half cup of chicken broth in the pan to get the leavings, then turn the heat down and let simmer.

nice marinade. Icky porck chops
