I too was skeptical, but I really wanted to try something different. The only changes I made was adding garlic and onion salt to the chops before browning,also I didn't do the cornstarch thing....just poured the juices over the chops and brown rice. The only tea I have is green tea and used bell's seasoning for the salt-free seasoning.

What a wonderful and different recipe! I must admit I was a bit skeptical because of the tea but decided to try it because of all the good reviews. You can't even taste the tea in the sauce! I marinated the pork beforehand in the mixture of fresh garlic, black pepper, soya sauce and curry powder and set aside in the fridge for a ocuple of hours. Later on I sprinkled salt, pepper and garlic powder on each chop and browned it and then made the sauce. I added chinese chili sauce to the sauce and it turned out delicious!

I thought these were good. I did use real butter and seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic and onion salt.

Going with the Chinese theme, I used strong pu-erh/pou-nei tea and substituted half of the celery with sliced snow peas. Served everything with white rice and garnished with cilantro (of which I'm a big fan). I think I'd add carrots to the mix of vegetables, to add some colour. Overall, very tasty.

Okay all I had in the house was the ingrediants to make this. I didn't have celery though yet added a little celery seed...It was really good. I was so surprised. Did not taste the tea at all. We loved the gravy and made white rice put the chop on top and smothered in gravy...I made more than one cup.... Thank you for this recipe. Very very easy.

Best pork chops I have ever eaten! I made with a side of rice, which made it even better.

These were the best cooked pork chops I have ever made. I didn't make the final sauce with the cornstarch, instead, I just used the juice, onions, and celery to top. Everyone loved them, including my husband who isn't a big fan of pork chops.

This recipe was outstanding, the mixture of the tea and soy sauce was so good. My wife and 7 year old son loved it. I used carrots instead of celery as we were out, and they were great. I will definitely cook this again, maybe for a big family dinner.
