Very nice dish i try one time
It was delicious! Thank you for sharing this very simple recipe with a very flavorful outcome. I’d like to try baking it instead today. What do you recommend for oven temp? duration? and breading/coating?
You’re welcome Maria! If you are planning to bake the pork chops, you need to coat the chops with breadcrumbs (instead of flour or tapioca starch). Then place the chops on a wire rack set on a baking sheet. Bake in 350 degree F preheated oven for 40 minutes or until cooked through. Hope these help!
Hi Liza,
Thanks for the recipe and it will be tonight’s dinner. My son, Mike is a big fan of cooking especially filipino recipes so I forwarded recipe to him. My mom used to make shrimp with 7up. and it made the sucking of the head even more delicious. thanks again and have a great day.

You’re welcome!
Could corn starch or flour be used instead of tapioca
Yes, you can definitely use cornstarch or flour. You should try making it, Mimi :0
About how long does it take to fry each side? It looks so delicious!!!
Hi Stephanie,
I usually fry the chops for 2-3 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chops.
Wow! These look so tender and juicy. I’ll definitely have to try this recipe sometime.
