Prepare the ingredients: pork sirloin chops, grated ginger, grated onion, garlic, starch, tomatoes, fresh cabbage, soy sauce, white wine, vegetable oil, apple juice, flour, and sugar.

For 7 chops, add 7 tablespoons of white wine, 1/4 teaspoon of ginger, 1/2 tablespoon of grated onion, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1/8 teaspoon of garlic, 1 tablespoon of apple juice, and about 1/4 teaspoon of sugar to the marinade.

Mix the marinade ingredients well.

Cut the sides of the pork chops to prevent curling during cooking.

Coat each chop in flour before frying.

Heat vegetable oil in a pan and fry the chops until both sides are browned.

Cover the pan and fry on low heat for a couple of minutes.

Remove some liquid from the pan and add the sauce, adjusting the amount to ensure there's enough liquid.

Add starch to thicken the sauce as needed.

Serve the pork chop with typical garnishes of cabbage and tomato.
