Start with butterfly pork chops and flatten them out to make them thinner.

Crack in 1 egg and add a couple of tablespoons of cornstarch, salt, and ground black pepper.

Mix everything together using hands until the meat is well coated.

Add a generous amount of olive oil to a preheated pan.

Using tongs, add the coated pork chops to the pan and fry until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.

Once golden brown, set the pork chops aside on a plate.

In the same pan, add a good knob of butter, about a tablespoon, and let it melt.

Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and about half a teaspoon of chili flakes, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Pour in 1.5 cups of heavy cream and bring to a boil.

After boiling, return the pork chops to the pan and spoon the sauce over them.

Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Add a bit of lemon juice for acidity, using a fresh lemon if preferred.

Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
