Directions

Season the pork chops with soy sauce, minced garlic, onion rings, white pepper, lemon juice, and salt. Toss to coat evenly.
- 2
Marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate overnight for deeper flavor.
- 3
Add olive oil to the pressure cooker over medium heat. Add the marinated chops with all their juices, tomatoes, bay leaf, MSG, and water.

Seal the pressure cooker. Once pressure is reached, reduce heat and cook for 15 minutes.

Release pressure safely, discard the bay leaf, adjust seasoning, and serve hot.
💡 Chef's Tip
Serve over steamed white rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the rich braising liquid. Skip the MSG if preferred — a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce adds a similar savory depth.
