Breaded Pork Chops With Mushroom Gravy
I am a chef who loves to cook, write recipes, and grow my own ingredients.
These crispy pork chops are marinated in kalamansi juice and fish sauce before being breaded, deep-fried, and served with a delicious mushroom gravy. In this article, let me share my simple recipe.
If you don't have kalamansi juice, I recommend substituting lemon juice.

Instructions
