Hainanese Pork Chop


Hainanese Pork Chop

A delicious dish where pork slices from the lean parts of the pig are dip in egg and then coated with cream crackers and fried in a pan.They are then sliced into small pieces to be served with the gravy.

The gravy that goes with it is made of tomato sauce thickened with corn starch and boiled with onions and potatoes. Green peas can be added.

You can eat with rice or just with the pork chop dipped in the sauce.

It is actually a Western dish served to the British Colonial Masters in Singapore by their Hainanese cooks. Thereafter it became part ot the repertoire of dishes served by the Hainanese coffeeshops
