Step 1

Cut pork loin into 4 pieces about 1" thick. Butterfly each piece of pork loin by slicing along the thickness of the loin, but leaving the end intact to make a butterfly shape.

Step 2

Open up the pork chop and tenderise both sides of the meat using a meat tenderiser, then set aside.

Step 3

Add oyster sauce, light soya sauce, salt and Chinese wine in a shallow plate and mix well. Coat the meat in the marinade and leave in the fridge for 2-3 hours ideally.

Step 4

Meanwhile, peel and wash the carrots, onion and potatoes. Then dice the onion and carrots, and slice the potatoes thinly.

Step 5

Put the cream crackers in a double layer plastic bag and crush finely with a pestle. Then add rice flour and mix well. Pour out the cream cracker mixture on a plate.

Step 6

Put a beaten egg into bowl and put the cornflour on a large plate

Take out the meat from the fridge, and coat the meat with cornflour on both sides and shake off the excess flour.

Step 8

Place the meat on the cream cracker and gently press the meat down ensuring it is well coated on both sides and set aside.

Step 10

Glaze the pan with oil and pan fry the potato slices until it's slightly browned and cooked. Set aside.

Once the oil is heated, put a piece of meat in to fry until golden brown on both sides. You can use a long pair of tongs to flip the pork chop.

Step 17

Dish up the sauce into a small bowl and serve together with the Hainanese pork chop. If you prefer, you can also pour the hot sauce over the pork chop and serve.
