peking pork chops

Sweet and sour pork chops, or Peking pork chops, are a bit of an Americanized &quot;Chinese&quot; dish. But that doesn&#x27;t mean people don&#x27;t enjoy it!

Sweet and Sour Pork Chops, Peking Style

pork

Shaoxing wine

soy sauce

five spice powder ((optional))

ketchup

Worcestershire sauce

Chinese black vinegar ((can substitute balsamic vinegar))

hoisin sauce

maple syrup

sesame oil

water ((120 ml))

Oil ((for frying, plus 1 tablespoon))

water ((45 ml))

flour

baking soda

cornstarch ((divided))

sesame seeds and chopped scallion

Marinate the pork chops in a mixture of shaoxing wine, soy sauce, and five spice powder (if using). Set aside for at least an hour or overnight. Make the sauce by combining ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, hoisin, maple syrup, sesame oil, and 1/2 cup water. Set aside.

When you're ready to cook, fill a medium deep pot about halfway with oil. Heat the oil to 375 degrees. In a separate bowl, combine 3 tablespoons ice water, 2 tablespoons flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Pour over the marinated pork chops and mix until coated.

Carefully drop a few pork chops at a time into the heated oil and fry in batches for about 3 minutes each batch. Drain on paper towels. Add a tablespoon of oil to your wok (you can take some from the frying oil), placed over medium heat. Swirl the oil around so it coats the wok. Pour in your sauce mixture and bring it to a simmer.

Mix your last tablespoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to form a slurry. Pour the slurry into the simmering sauce and stir until thickened. Add the cooked pork chops and toss them in the sauce. Plate, and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped scallions. Serve!

Peking Pork Chops – The tenderness and juiciness of the pork coupled with the sweet, tart and smoky taste of the sauce makes this a perfect dish to serve with steamed rice.
