Pork Chops with Pineapple Fried Rice...

Tonight was Pork Chops with Pineapple Fried Rice. I can't stress how amazing this was. The only thing that could have possibly made it better is if we would have done it on the Blackstone.

The recipe called for 4-6 pork chops. I sent the husband to Bubbarock and he came back with 6 of the most beautiful butterflied pork chops. So I used 3 of those and I'll save the rest for another meal. I did dice the pork chops. I did this for a few reasons; to save room in the skillet, so it would cook faster and so it could just make a better bite with the fried rice and you didn't have to mess with cutting the pork chops. I'm so glad I did it this way because once the sauce was added, every single bite was coated in that sauce and it was delicious. 

Of course this wasn't without it's own bit of....I don't know what I'm doing. I apparently can't read and when I saw that it called for 2 cloves of garlic and 1 Tbs of grated garlic. I ultimately chopped up a lot of garlic. I think I may have had 6 large cloves. I then saw that the 1 Tbs of grated garlic was actually grated ginger and I prepared ginger accordingly. This mishap in no way made it bad. It only added to the flavor and that's what I love about cooking. If I screw up, the world doesn't end and the meal isn't usually ruined. 

I definitely recommend trying this one. There are a lot of steps so it may be better for a weekend meal or otherwise a day off. It's still a weekday for me and I made it through though. So it can be done, just be prepared for a little more work than you may typically want for a work night.
