Asian-inspired stir fry featuring thin pork chops.

The first dish we’ll feature is an Asian-inspired stir fry featuring thin pork chops, fresh veggies, and spicy sauces. Start by marinating your pork chops in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and honey for at least 30 minutes (but overnight is best). Once the pork has been marinated, heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Add the thinly sliced pork chops and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate.

Next, add in your vegetables along with another tablespoon of oil – feel free to use whatever you have handy such as bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, zucchini etc., making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Stir fry the vegetables until they are just tender before adding back in the cooked pork chops along with hoisin sauce and chili garlic sauce (if desired). Cook everything together for an additional 2 minutes before turning off the heat. Serve over steamed white rice or noodles and garnish with scallions or cilantro if desired.

Wine Suggestions

Pork chops pair best with bold, full-bodied wines that can stand up to the richness of the meat. Here are some great suggestions for delicious wines to serve with pork chops:

1. Cabernet Sauvignon: This full-bodied red is known for its intense flavor and high tannin levels, making it a perfect choice for pairing with pork chops.

Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied red wine with robust flavor and sturdy tannin structure. It is made from the dark-skinned Cabernet Sauvignon grape, and can be found in many different styles from light to heavy. When pairing it with pork chops, look for wines that are oak aged, higher in alcohol content, and/or have notes of blackberry or cassis. This will help counterbalance the fat content in the dish and stand up to the richness of the meat. Serve slightly chilled or at room temperature – this will help enhance the flavors of both the wine and food!

2. Syrah: This spicy, bold red wine has plenty of character and complexity that will pair nicely with the rich flavors of pork chops.

Syrah is a full-bodied red wine that features spicy, bold flavors and robust tannins. It is a great choice for pork chops as it can stand up to the richness of the meat while offering plenty of complexity and character. When pairing Syrah with pork chops, look for wines that are oak aged and/or have notes of blackberry, pepper, or spice. Serve slightly chilled or at room temperature to bring out the best aromas in both the wine and food.

3. Pinot Noir: Known as a light-bodied red wine, but still one that is complex enough to stand up to the richness of pork chops.

Pinot Noir is a medium-bodied red wine that is known for its silky texture and balanced flavor. When pairing Pinot Noir with pork chops, look for wines that are lower in alcohol content and have notes of raspberry, cherry, or earth. This will help to contrast with the fatty richness of the pork chops and provide balance to the dish. Serve slightly chilled or at room temperature – this will bring out the subtle nuances of both the wine and food!
