Pork chops with rice is a simple yet flavorful dish that balances the savory taste of pork with the sweetness of pineapple and the crunch of bell peppers. With this easy-to-follow recipe, you'll have a nutritious and satisfying meal on the table in no time.

Ingredients:

2 cups white rice
370g
1 tbsp vegetable oil
14g
4 pork fillet
250g
1 cup chicken broth
240g
3 tbsp brown sugar
27g
2 tbsp cornstarch
16g
2 tbsp vinegar
30g
1.50 cups pineapple
370g
1 cup red pepper
150g
1 cup green pepper
90g

Instructions:

1. Cook the Rice:
- Rinse the 2 cups of white rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a medium pot, combine the rice with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the water is fully absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for about 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
2. Prepare the Pork Chops:
- Season the pork fillets with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the pork fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons of vinegar. Mix well to create a smooth paste.
- Add 1 cup of chicken broth to the same skillet you used to cook the pork chops. Stir in the brown sugar mixture and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce begins to thicken and bubble.
4. Add Vegetables and Pineapple:
- Once the sauce has thickened, add the diced pineapple, red pepper, and green pepper to the skillet.
- Stir everything together and let it cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender yet crisp and the pineapple is heated through.
5. Combine Everything:
- Return the cooked pork fillets to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce and vegetable mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure the pork chops are heated through and well-coated with the sauce.
6. Serve:
- Serve the pork chops over a bed of the cooked white rice.
- Spoon the pineapple and pepper sauce generously over the pork chops and rice.

Enjoy your delicious Pork Chops with Rice!

Tips:

- Before starting, make sure to measure out and prepare all your ingredients. This makes the cooking process smoother and more efficient.

- For perfectly cooked rice, rinse it under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming too sticky.

- To ensure the pork chops are tender and juicy, avoid overcooking them. Sear them on high heat initially to lock in the juices, then cook through on medium heat.

- If you prefer a spicier kick, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a chopped chili pepper.

- Feel free to garnish the dish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for added flavor and a touch of color.

- To make the dish healthier, you can substitute white rice with brown rice or quinoa.

Congratulations! You've just made a delightful pork chops with rice dish that's both tasty and nutritious. This meal combines the rich flavors of pork and the fresh taste of vegetables with a hint of sweetness from pineapple. Serve it warm and enjoy the compliments from your family and friends. Happy cooking!
