Garlic-Soy Pork Chops
I cook this when I have nothing in the house and have nothing prepared. It is pretty quick. I sometimes do not even marinate an hour before. I like it because it is salty (good to replenish salt, since I lose a lot due to exercise and having cystic fibrosis), a good source of protein and very satisfying. Plus, these are four ingredients that I usually have at home, aside from chops. It's easy and delicious.
