You can! Happy cooking and hope you enjoy the dish 🙂

Japanese sake is a great substitution. If you don’t have it, you can use some chicken broth to replace it.

I like to use pure peanut oil for stir fry or anything I want to add a nutty flavor. For shallow fry or neutral flavor, I use avocado oil mostly because of its high smoking point and it’s quite healthy. Grapeseed oil, sunflower oil, and vegetable oil are also good options. I usually like to use grapeseed oil if not using avocado oil.

I figured. Thank you for the very quick reply! Btw, what type of oil do you suggest for the (shallow) fry and sauce? Apologies if it’s already been mentioned.

I think frying the chop is very important. Actually I was trying to develop a pork chop recipe in the oven (and air fryer). Tried many times and the result was never good. The oven over cooks the meat and does not crisp up the surface. Even you omit the starch, I think it’s much better to cook this on the stove just so the pork won’t overcook like it does in the oven.
