There's something about coming home to a pork chop dinner that’s so old-school satisfying. And this one’s got some new-school flavors: garlicky roasted carrots and zucchini with a crusty, pan-seared chop and a sweet, savory, and bright mandarin-chili sauce dotted with edamame. It’s all served over fluffy cooked rice, sprinkled with scallion greens and more velvety sauce.

Cooking Steps
-
Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
-
Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons. Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces. Halve mandarin. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.
-
In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook, covered, until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.
-
Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
-
While rice cooks, toss zucchini and carrots on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast on middle rack until browned and tender, 18-20 minutes.
-
While veggies roast, in a medium bowl, whisk together juice from whole mandarin (both for 4 servings), stock concentrate, chili sauce, soy sauce, half the cornstarch (all for 4), ½ cup water (1 cup for 4), and 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4).
-
Pat pork* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side.
-
Turn off heat; transfer pork to a plate. Wipe out pan.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for pork over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites and edamame; cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and soft, 30-60 seconds.
-
Add mandarin chili sauce. Reduce heat to medium; cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce begins to thicken, 2-4 minutes. Turn off heat. Stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until melted.
-
Add pork to sauce and turn to coat.
-
Fluff rice with a fork; season with salt and pepper.
-
Divide rice and veggies between plates. Top rice with pork and drizzle with any remaining sauce. Garnish with scallion greens and serve.
