This recipe is based on the Baked pork chops (焗豬扒飯), except this version is healthier and easier to make, as it doesn’t include the cheese on top and no oven is needed. The baked pork chops is a classic Cantonese dish, which can be found at every Hong Kong café (茶餐廳). This dish is made with tomato sauce, so the taste is sweet and fresh. When I am having this dish, I love to mix the sauce with rice.
I have encountered this recipe from allrecipes while searching for an easy version to make this dish. I love how easy this dish can be made compared to the traditional version. The traditional way to prepare this is of course tastier, but also unhealthier due to the high calories of cheese. However, this version is close enough to the original one for me. I love to serve this dish with white rice and some green veggies. Drop a comment in the box if you would like me to show you how to make the traditional version!

- 1 medium onion chopped
- 3 tbsp tomato ketchup I used Heinz Ketchup.

- Mix the ingredients (mix the cornstarch with water separate first before mixing it with the other ingredients) under marinade together and marinade the pork chops for at least 30 minutes and if possible overnight.
- Collect all ingredients for the sauce and mix the tomato ketchup, soy sauce and water in a bowl.
- Heat a wok or large frying pan with 1/2 tbsp oil over high heat. Stir-fry the pork until done, this should take around 5-6 minutes. Set aside.
- Heat the same pan with 1/2 tbsp oil over high heat. Stir-fry the garlic and onion for about 3 minutes over medium heat.
- Add the tomatoes and sugar and stir-fry for about 3 minutes.
- Add the sauce and stir until everything is mixed, cover and simmer for 5 minutes over low heat. (I like to add the pork to simmer it along, as I like the pork to absorb more sauce, but this step is optional).
