Salt and Pepper Pork Chop Bites

The combo of soy sauce, garlic, black pepper, and sea salt creates a delightful blend that elevates the natural flavors of the pork. (You can make it with chicken, too.) The cornstarch coating gives them a crispy texture while locking in the juices. This provides a perfect balance of crunchiness and tenderness in every bite. The sautéed onions, garlic, and chilies add a hint of spiciness that complements the dish wonderfully.

OH! And I love these served with caramelized onions.
