A Quick, Simple Meal For One That's Yum

1 boneless pork chop. They are usually 5-6 ounces.

Put it in a microwave-safe bowl.

Add: about a teaspoon of sherry, and about a tablespoon of soy sauce. Then a pinch of salt and a pinch of brown sugar, sprinkled.

If you like it extra hot, add several chiles japones to the liquid.

Add a few cloves of garlic to the liquid, then cover with thick slices of fresh leek. About 10 will cover it. Onion slices can be a substitute. Then finish with a dusting of black pepper.

Put it in the refrigerator and let the meat marinade for at least an hour.

Then cover with wax paper, put it in the microwave oven and nuke until the pork is done and the leeks are tender.

I recommend fresh cantaloupe slices and whole-grain bread as sides. The bread is good for mopping up the sauce.
