Tonteki
Tonteki is a sautéed pork loin chop served over shredded cabbage covered with a garlicky brown sauce gravy. This recipe couldn’t get any easier. It is recommended that you use at least 1” thick pork chops. If you use thinner, it is easier for the pork chops to dry out. With 1” thick chops, cooking for 4 minutes a side will result a perfect medium before you slice into them. Drizzling the remaining sizzling brown sauce over the slices will finish cooking them a little more.
