Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    4 pork loin chops
    1 medium onion, sliced thin
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    2 tbsp soy sauce
    2 tsp hot mustard

Brown pork chops on both sides and then return onions and garlic to pan.
Mix the rest of the ingredients to make a sauce, thin with more water if needed.
Add to pan chops, onions and garlic and heat through.
Serve with rice.
Chicken breasts can be used instead of pork.

    I made a single serving by making 1/4 of the recipe. Then when I added the onion and garlic back in, I also added a cup of shredded cabbage. It was amazing! I don't usually cook much for just myself but this recipe is not only delicious but it is super easy! - 4/1/09

    Base recipe is a winner, my changes: added broccoli and carrots and used cut up chicken breast. Less Tabasco, fresh ginger, sweet chili sauce instead of the mustard and Splenda. Great to have Thai tastes without completely blowing my sodium budget. This got a "Wow, this is good!" from my husband. - 8/8/09

    Excellent flavor! I omitted the spicy stuff and used low sodium soy sauce, but otherwise followed the recipe closely. I served over brown rice and with steamed broccoli. Great meal and I will definitely make again. - 3/24/09

    This is delicious! I did find it VERY peanut butter-y so next time I will probably half the peanut butter. I liked the spiciness and it was very tasty! I served it with jasmine rice and garlic green beans. Yum! - 6/10/09

    The calories are a little off, for most people. If you look closely at the ingredient list, it says 113g pork chops, that's 4oz. Most people buy pork chops larger than that, also, the rice served with it is not included in the calories. Just a little warning.

    Other than that, I LOVE peanut sauces

    "This stuff could've come from a restaurant!" Compliments from my husband. Didn't have all the ingredients so I used Sweet Asian Chili sauce (tabasco), Brown Sugar (Splenda), Yellow Mustard (spicy mustard)

    Added these veggies w/ onion and garlic: kohlrabi/beet tops, spinach, broccoli

    I use fat free & low sodium chicken stock. I NEVER USE WATER. Not even to cook rice or boil potatoes. If you don't use much fats, you have to replace FLAVOR. I also finish the
    dish by sprinkling finely minced green onions & crushed Cashews just before serving.

    This was really delicious and my husband loved it. I used regular mustard and it was still very "spicy hot" and I added a can of drained straw mushrooms. I will definitely make again but will cut the hot sauce to 1 TBSP. - 6/19/08

    This recipe is a keeper! I use agave nectar for the sweetness rather than splenda which (I feel) isn't good for you. The flavor was most excellent...however I love spicy so this is right up our alley! Try this is Pork Chop yum, yum! - 7/4/09

    Loved it! The 4 vs 5 stars was mainly due to the need for a bit more sauce - I think next time I make it I'll halve again the sauce ingredients to be able to cover a serving of rice. - 6/30/09

    I cut out 1/4 of the tobasco and added 1 tsp wasabi, also used a hot and sweet mustard and left out the splenda. Added Cabbage, red and yellow sweet peppers and thought this was fabulous. Also cut meat in strips which make for better use with chopsticks. - 8/13/07

    This is a winner. We all loved it. I myself prefer brown rice, but my family doesn't, so I made white rice. I wonder, though, about the calorie count. It says 270 calories, but with the peanut butter and the rice, I'd think it was a good bit more. I will make this again gladly. - 3/5/09

    Made this last night. Even Hubby liked it (although he asked that I make it a little less peanutty next time). I didn't have hot mustard, so I just subbed in dry powdered mustard instead. Yummy. - 6/22/09

    To the person questioning the nutritional info: ALWAYS click on ingredient details to see for yourself what is included in the calculations. In this case, you can see that the rice is NOT included, so in fact, your totals for this meal were much higher. - 3/31/09

    This is a good recipe. I cut all the "hot" ingredients in half and it still had quite a bite. I will cut the peanut butter in half next time as my sauce was VERY peanut buttery. - 1/27/09

    This was totally delicious! I read the recipe yesterday, and went out and bought chops. Right on, about make more sauce. This sauce would also go well with: noodles and beef for a stroganof, and believe or not over a salmon steak! Not withstanding it would also go well over chicken stirfry. - 7/25/09

    OMG - SO YUMMY! I served it with Brown Rice and it was great. I also improvised a bit on the serving size. I had 3 large pork chops, so I cut them in half and used the same amount of sauce in this recipe. So I had 6 smaller servings and was still satisfied with less fat. - 4/28/09

    I cooked this last night for my husband and friends-very good. I love the sauce with the veggies and pork, not so much with the rice as suggested (felt grainy with the starch)- but everyone else did! It really was super easy and I added mushrooms and steamed broccoli, red bell peppers and carrots. - 4/2/09

    My family really enjoyed this and ate it all up! I made it with six nice sized cut up chicken breasts and doubled the ingredients except for the tabasco sauce and peanut butter. I also used regular mustard and olive oil cause I didn't have what was listed. It was a hit and I will make it again. - 4/5/09

    Way too much tabasco sauce. I would cut it way down, then add more if it isn't hot enough for you. I loved it, especially with the rice to cut down the hottness of it. My friend hated it, but she lives in Texas and they don't eat Thai food.. she has never had it. I will make it again with chicken - 8/19/08
