   • In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, wine, and cornstarch. Mix well until the cornstarch is fully dissolved in the liquid.
   • Place the pork chops in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow them to marinate for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat.

2. Make the Seasoning Sauce:

   • In another bowl, combine the ketchup, sweet and sour sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar. Stir until all the ingredients are well incorporated, forming a delicious seasoning sauce.

3. Cooking the Pork Chops:

   • Heat a wide frying pan over high heat until it’s hot and ready for cooking.
   • Add the oil to the pan, swirling it around to coat the sides evenly.
   • Carefully place the marinated pork chops into the hot pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook them until they develop a golden brown crust, approximately 2-4 minutes on each side.

4. Add the Seasoning Sauce:

   • Once the pork chops are cooked to perfection, reduce the heat to medium.
   • Pour the prepared seasoning sauce over the pork chops in the pan.
   • Stir the sauce gently, allowing it to coat the pork chops evenly. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly, enhancing the flavors of the dish.

5. Serve:

   • Transfer the cooked pork chops to a serving platter or individual plates.
   • Garnish with fresh herbs or sesame seeds for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.
   • Serve the Jing Tu Pork Chops hot, accompanied by steamed rice or your favorite side dish.
