1 lb	454g / 16oz	Garlic clove (large)
4		Pork chops - (each about 1 inch thick)
1 tablespoon	15ml	Vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons	7.5ml	Finely grated peeled fresh gingered

Recipe Instructions

Quarter and pit plums and mince garlic. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. In a 12-inch heavy skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and brown pork chops about 2 minutes on each side, transferring to a plate.

Add garlic and ginger to skillet and saute, stirring constantly, 30 seconds. Stir in soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, and anise and bring to a simmer. Return pork chops to skillet and arrange plums around them. Simmer mixture, covered, over moderately low heat 50 minutes, or until meat is very tender.

Transfer chops to a platter and, if necessary, simmer sauce, uncovered, until thickened slightly. Discard star anise, if used. Pour sauce over chops and garnish with scallion and plum slices.
