BAKED PORK CHOPS AND RICE
Description
BAKED PORK CHOPS AND RICE begins with marinating bone-in pork chops in a mixture of salt, soy sauce, and brown sugar, allowing absorption of flavors and tenderization. Rice is cooked separately and set aside. The pork chops are browned using a sauté function in an instant pot, then simmered quickly in a sauce composed of canned tomatoes, tomato soup or paste, chicken broth, soy sauce, salt, and sugar, creating a rich and savory base.
Frozen mixed vegetables are added to the sauce, which is thickened with a cornstarch and water slurry. The cooked rice is layered in a baking tray, topped with the thickened sauce and the pork chops. Generous mozzarella cheese covers the top, and the dish is broiled briefly until the cheese melts and browns slightly. This method yields juicy pork combined with flavorful tomato sauce absorbing into the rice, with a melted cheesy finish.
