Pan fried Pork chop with Coriander Seed 香菜子煎豬扒食譜
I always like coriander seed in my dishes. I remember when my dad cooked satay before, he always liked to use coriander and shallet to marinate the pork. He prepared a small fire pot to grill satay on rooftop of our village house in Yuen Long. My dad did not cook often, but somehow he could make one or two memoriable dishes in my childhood, something I still can recall after 30 years.
What is Coriander?
It is actually seed of Chinese Parsley (Cilantro).
香菜子(芫荽籽) 是芫茜的種子

How to crush pork chop nicely using just a regular cooking pan? The secret is plain flour.
想要豬扒煎得金香，煎之前可洒上少許麵粉。
Ingredients:
Australian pork chops are general good choice, and KR Castlemaine is one of the brands that I like.
I have tired the KR brand Rib Eye - two pieces pre-cut pork chop around 500 g, and Rib Pack Roast - one whole piece with three racks around 1 kg, both are good but the rib pack roast (right) is tenderer and softer in general.
特別推介 KR Castlemaine 澳洲豬扒，右邊個隻連骨帶皮的豬鞍肉質更鬆軟。
1 pack KR pork rib eye (around 500 g)
1 + 1/4 tablespoon olive oil
1 + 1/2 tablespoon Kikkoman soy sauce (or other brand)
1 + 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander seed
Pinch of sea salt
Some chilli powder (optional)
Plain flour (for light coating)
1 tablespoon oil (for cooking)
1包KR 兩件庒帶骨豬扒（約500克）
1 + 1/4湯匙 橄欖油
1 + 1/2湯匙 萬字醬油（或其他品牌）
1 + 1/2茶匙 磨碎的芫荽籽
少許海鹽
喜歡食辣可加些辣椒粉
麵粉（洒上肉面用）
1湯匙油（煎豬扒用）
Preparation of coriander seed power:
For the best result, use an electronic grinder to grind seeds to powder. You may pre-grind coriander seeds and it can be kept it in an airtight bottle for a few weeks.
芫茜籽粉最好是自己磨的，可以預先磨好後放入一個密封瓶，可保存幾星期。
Steps:
Step 1:
After thawing pork chop, use a paper towel to dry the meat.
marinate it with olive oil, soy sauce, sea salt , chilli powder and groud coriander seed for at least one hour. Keep it inside refrigerator to prevent from growth of bacteria.
豬扒解凍後，用廚房紙抹走多餘水份。
用橄欖油，鼓油，海鹽，辣椒粉和磨好的芫茜籽醃豬扒最少 1小時，請保存在雪櫃內避免滋生細菌。
Step 2:
Sprinkle a very thin layer of plain flour on one side of the pork.
灑上少許麵粉在肉面上。
Step 3:
Heat oil under medium high flame, when oil is hot, put pork in (with floured side facing down), then sprinkle some flour on the top of the pork.
油熱後將有麵粉那面的豬扒向下放，面上灑上少許麵粉。
Step 4:
Sear the pork until golden brown on one side (about 60 secs), then turn to sear another side. You can now add shallots and brussels sprouts for garnish.
用中大火封煎豬扒至金黃色 (大概 60秒)。然後煎封另一面。這時可加入配料如紅蔥頭，小椰菜頭。
Step 5:
Cover the pan and turn flame to small, cook for about 8 – 10 mins, flip pork once during the cooking time.
Turn off flame and rest for 1 min before taking the meat up.
然後加蓋轉小火焗煎 8-10 分鐘，中間可番豬扒一次讓兩面煎均勻。
最後熄火焗一分鍾，完成！
