Hainanese Pork Chops

Was chatting over FaceTime with my mom when the topic of Pork Chops came up. She gave me instructions on how to prepare this dish and I decided to cook this for our dinner tonight.

It tasted really delicious! I'll definitely be cooking it again soon!



Ingredients (serves 2 big eaters)

4 pieces of thin sliced pork loin (about 1 cm thick)
half yellow sweet onion, cubed
1 tomato, cubed
10pieces of graham cracker, grind into fine crumbs
1 egg, beaten
green peas, amount to your liking
oil, sufficient for deep frying

Seasoning (for pork loin)
a dash of salt and pepper
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce

Seasoning (for sauce)
6 tbsp ketchup / tomato sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp sugar
1/2 cup water

Directions


1. Marinate pork loin with seasoning for a minimum of 2 hours.
2. Remove pork loin from fridge about 20mins prior to cooking to allow meat to come to room temperature. This will ensure even cooking.
3. Coat individual pieces of pork with egg followed by cracker crumbs.
4. Deep fry until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
5. When cool, slice into pieces each about 2cm in width.
6. In a fry pan coated with oil, saute onions till aromatic then add in tomato cubes and green peas. Continue to saute for another 1-2mins. Lastly, add in the seasoning for the sauce and bring to a boil.
7. Pour over sliced pork loin and serve.

Wok Fried Char Siew


Prepared wok fried char siew to go with wanton noodles for lunch today.

I used two strips of pork loin for the char siew. It would be better if pork belly is used but I didn't find any at the supermarket. To prepare the char siew, I seasoned it with dark soy sauce, light sauce soy, oyster sauce and sugar (approximate amount, more sugar if a sweeter taste is desired). Left it to marinate for two days in the fridge. Of course, the easier way will be to season it with store bought char siew sauce.

To cook it, first boil some water (i used about 500ml) in a wok and place the pork in it. Cook till water reduces and gravy becomes thick. Continue to pan fry in the wok until both sides are browned.
