👨‍🍳 조리법

1. 1

   Score the skin of the pork chops in a diamond pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. This helps the skin crisp up.

   💡 전문가 팁: A sharp knife is essential for scoring the skin.
2. 2

   In a small bowl, mix together adobo seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.

   💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the spices are well combined.
3. 3

   Rub the spice mixture all over the pork chops, including the scored skin. Let them sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes, or up to an hour.

   ⏱️ 15-60 minutes

   💡 전문가 팁: Allowing the chops to come to room temperature helps them cook more evenly.
4. 4

   Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1/2 inch deep.

   💡 전문가 팁: Use a pan that can withstand high heat.
5. 5

   Carefully place the pork chops, skin-side down, into the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes until the skin begins to puff and turn golden brown.

   ⏱️ 5-7 minutes

   💡 전문가 팁: Be cautious of splattering oil.
6. 6

   Flip the pork chops and sear the meat side for about 3-4 minutes until browned.

   ⏱️ 3-4 minutes
7. 7

   Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet (away from the pork chops to avoid cooling the oil too much). Immediately cover the skillet tightly.

   💡 전문가 팁: The steam will help cook the pork through and tenderize it.
8. 8

   Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the pork chops steam for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

   ⏱️ 20-25 minutes

   💡 전문가 팁: Check the water level periodically and add a tablespoon more if it evaporates completely.
9. 9

   Remove the lid and increase the heat back to medium-high. Continue to cook for another 5-10 minutes, turning occasionally, to ensure the skin is crispy and golden brown, and the meat is fully cooked.

   ⏱️ 5-10 minutes

   💡 전문가 팁: This final step is crucial for achieving the signature crispy skin.
10. 10

    Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

    ⏱️ 5 minutes
