Fried pork that makes a good main dish, especially served with rice, salad, and miso soup. Japanese breadcrumbs are different from the type you can buy in America, they are larger, so bigger cracker crumbs make this look better, but the taste will be about the same :-) If you don't want to use sake in the marinade, replace it with water and add extra sugar.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup sake (rice wine)
1 tablespoon ginger
1 tablespoon sugar
6 pork chops
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup flour
1 cup breadcrumbs
Directions:
1. In a glass bowl stir together ginger, soy sauce, sugar, and sake. Add pork chops, covering completely, and marinade for 30 minutes.
2. Remove chops from marinade, dip into the flour, then into the egg, and finally into the breadcrumbs. (This order is important!).
3. Fry for 3 minutes on each side, 'til done. Slice into strips and serve warm with rice.
