Chinese Pork Chops
I love pork chops, for example: baked pork chops, grilled pork chops and boneless pork chops.
Today, I am sharing with you a Chinese pork chops recipe which is Peking pork chops.
Peking Pork Chops
Peking Pork Chops is called Jing Du Pork or 京都排骨. This recipe great for Chinese new year.
The pig is a symbol of plumpness or abundance, therefore any pork dish is an auspicious symbol of prosperity.
The sweetness and stickiness of the Peking style glaze respectively signify “a sweet year ahead” and “family cohesiveness”.
And to top it all off, the color of the sauce is red, which is the Chinese color for celebration, prosperity, and longevity.
The Best Peking Sauce
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.
And that is why Peking Pork Chops is one of the most popular items on the menu of Chinese restaurants today.
Read on to learn how to make the best peking sauce.
