Our “100 Asian Recipes” challenge is getting, well a bit challenging as we close in on the finishing line. Sue has a note book full of recipes and we’re sort of relying on the Yellow Sticker fridge to point us in the right direction. These nice thick Pork Chops were a good call. Cheers Yasmin the Yellow Sticker fridge!!!
