Hong Kong style pork chop with tomato sauce recipe
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 […]
