  1. Even my very picky 6 year old son ate this! Pork chops were so tender and flavorful. Served it over rice and had steamed broccoli on the side. Easy to prepare and very tasty! And I had all the ingredients except for the 5 spice.

    1. As a Mom myself, that always makes me happy. We love this and I dare say, I’ve served it with broccoli a time or two myself. Thanks so much, I’m happy you enjoyed it!
