17 March 2011, Chatsworth, California
It is my 6th day in California, life is started to get a bit bored. I attended training in the daytime, and return to the hotel to have a good rest as I still suffered from jet lag. That day the training ended at 3pm and I have time to do some grocery shopping. So I decided to cook tonight.
The dinner was Angel Hair Pasta with Seared Pork Chop. First I seasoned my pork chop with salt, black pepper and garlic. Then I seared the meat in the hot pan with extra virgin olive oil. I also added some butter to the hot pan and baste.
After I seared my pork chop, I poured most of the oil from the pan and I will use the remaining oil for my angel hair pasta. I cooked my angel hair pasta around 9 minutes in a boiling water. I removed my angel hair pasta from the boiling water and cooled it with cold water to stop the cooking process. I added a bit of extra virgin oil in the pasta to prevent them from sticking to each other. I reheat my pan and the remaining oil from the pork chop, I sautéed my mixed vegetables and added in tomato sauce to my pan. Once I saw my tomato paste was boiling, I added in my angel hair pasta into the pan and mixed them together with the tomato sauce and mixed vegetables. Last but not least I plated my pork chop on top on the angel hair pasta in the plate to make it more presentable.
The dish was delicious, the angel hair pasta was cooked till perfection and the pork chop was seasoned correct. The outer layer of the meat was crispy. I fall in love with this dish and I recooked it for more than six times in California.
