Sugar

Instructions
1
Marinate the Pork
Score the surface of the pork chops lightly with a knife to help the marinade penetrate. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and curry powder. Coat the chops thoroughly with the mixture and let them sit for at least 10 minutes.
2
Sear the Chops
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the marinated pork chops into the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until both sides are golden brown and the meat is cooked through.
3
Season and Serve
Just before finishing, sprinkle the cumin powder over the chops in the pan for a burst of aroma. Remove from heat immediately and serve hot.
