Ingredients
- 450 gm boned pork chops at least 3.5cm thick
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 x spring onions
- 2 slc fresh ginger
- 1 Tbsp. oil braising sauce
- 400 ml rice wine or possibly 150ml dry sherry mixed with 300ml chicken stock
- 110 gm sugar or possibly Chinese rock sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp black peppercorns or possibly roasted Sichuan peppercorns (qv)
Directions
- Lightly salt the meat and set it aside.
- Cut the spring onions into 7.5cm lengths and curt the ginger into slices 7.5cm x .5cm.
- Heat the oil in a wok or possibly large frying pan.
- Reduce the heat and then add in the spring onions and ginger.
- After a few seconds add in the meat and cook it till it browns.
- Bring the braising sauce iagredients to the boil in a heavy pot or possibly casserole and then turn the heat down to a simmer.
- Add in the browned pork spring onions and ginger mix.
- Turn the heat as low as possible cover and simmer for about 40 min or possibly till the pork is tender.
- When the chops are cooked remove them from the liquid and let them cold slightly before you slice them cutting them diagonally.
- Remove any surface fat from the braising liquid and spoon some of it over the pork slices.
- Serve immediately.
- The rest of the braising liquid can be cooled and frzn for future use. (Remove any surface fat before transferring it to the freezer.)
- Serve with plain steamed rice and a simple green vegetable dish.
- This is my adaptation of a famous Chinese dish called Honey Flam with Lotus Seed. Chinese ham is braised in sugar rice wine and lotus seeds till the mix is reduced to a syrup that glazes the ham like honey. This process usually takes about 4 hrs but I have found which the method can be applied to thick pork chops taking considerably less time but with excellent results.
