Baked Pork Chop Rice – Hong Kong Style

October 7, 2021

Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

Baked Pork Chop rice is usually served in Hong Kong cafes. There’s three elements to making the best pork chop rice —tender pork chop, delicious sauce, and fragrant fried rice. The dish is so comforting and is one of my mom’s favorite dish.

Make sure to try this Cantonese classic recipe! You won’t regret it.

Ingredients you need for your baked pork chop rice:

Porkchop Marinade:

  • 1 large pork chop
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp chicken bouillon
  • 1/2 tbs olive oil
  • 1/2 tbs corn starch
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 1/2 tbs ginger, sliced or minced

Tomato Sauce:

  • 1 tbs oil (olive or vegetable oil)
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 shallots
  • 1/4 onion, diced
  • 1 tbs tomato paste
  • 1 tbs ketchup
  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • 1 1/2 cups water (add more of less water depending on how thick you like the sauce)
  • 2 tbs oyster sauce
  • 2 tsp salt
  • pinch of black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tbs sugar
  • 1 tbs corn starch combined with 2 tbs water (for thickening sauce)

Egg Fried Rice:

  • 2 cups of cooked white rice
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp sugar

Garnish:

  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese for topping

Steps to make the baked pork chop rice:

  • Step 1. Pound the back of a knife or use a meat pounder on both sides of the pork chop. Pounding the pork chop ensures the meat is tender. Place in a bowl.
  • Step 2. Mince 1 shallot, 1/2 tablespoon ginger and 1 garlic. Add shallot, ginger and garlic to the pork chop. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon chicken bouillon, 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 tablespoon corn starch to the pork chop. Ensure that the marinade seasoning is well distributed. Cover and marinade for 1 hour to overnight.
  • Step 3. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan and fry the pork chop until golden brown on both sides (takes 2 minutes on each side) on medium-high heat. Note: The pork chop only needs to be browned on both sides, it doesn’t need to be completely cooked because we are going to bake it later. Set aside the pork chop.
  • Step 4. Make the tomato sauce by heating the pan to medium. Add 1 tablespoon oil, 2 shallots and 2 garlic cloves and fry for 1 minute. Add diced onion and fry for one minute.
  • Step 5. Add 2 diced tomatoes, 1.5 cups water, 1 tablespoon ketchup and 1 tablespoon tomato paste and cook for 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes become soft.
  • Step 6. Add 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 2 teaspoons salt, 1.5 tablespoon sugar, and pinch of black pepper and cook for one minute.
  • Step 7. Mix 1 tablespoon corn starch with 2 tablespoons of water. Then add to the tomato sauce to thicken the sauce. Set aside the sauce.
  • Step 8. Time to make the egg fried rice. Add 2 eggs to a medium-high pan and scramble the eggs.
  • Step 9. Next add rice and incorporate in the eggs. Fry the eggs and rice for 5-6 minutes until the rice is not clumpy. Mix in salt and sugar. Set aside rice.
  • Step 10. Assemble the dish by adding the egg fried rice to the bottom of a tray or glassware (make sure its oven safe!). Next add the pork chop. Add the tomato sauce on top and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
  • Step 11. Bake the dish at 350F for 15 minutes until the cheese has melted. Hope you enjoy!

My childhood comfort food! 👧🏻 I always look My childhood comfort food! 👧🏻 I always look forward to when my mom would make cheung fun or Hong Kong rice noodles for me as a kid on her way to work on saturday and sunday mornings. Hong Kong rice noodles are known as Cheung fun (腸粉) in Cantonese. Cheung Fun is a popular street snack in Hong Kong and is often served as a dim sum item. These rice noodles are super soft & jiggly after steaming. The rice noodles consists of many layers of noodles so it’s perfect for adding sauces on top. I recommend sauces like XO sauce (dried scallop and shrimp chili oil), hoisin sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce, and oyster sauce for the ultimate food bite! 

google ‘rice noodle dana’ for full recipe or click link in bioooo! 💖 have a lovely weekend my dumplings!

Currently dreaming of this hong kong french toast Currently dreaming of this hong kong french toast and milk tea combo for brekkies 💭My secret ingredient for my hong kong french toast is dairy milk! I dip shokupan (Japanese white bread or asian style white bread) in dairy milk which really helps soften the bread for extra fluffiness and then dip in egg batter and panko bread crumbs (non-traditional method but SO GOOD!) for that extra crispy bite 😋#gonnaneedmilk

Not only is milk a great ingredient for cooking, milk contains 4 B vitamins, which helps our bodies convert food into energy. So essentially the milk in milk tea is a quick and easy way to kickstart your busy day with energy. If you’re lactose intolerant, don’t worry, lactose-free milk  has all the same nutritional benefits as traditional milk! So… when are you trying this recipe?

My new favorite soup right now 😍Here’s a supe My new favorite soup right now 😍Here’s a super easy and not traditional Korean ox bone soup aka Seolleongtang 설렁탕 🥰 Super hot bone broth is topped with beautifully marbled beef, Chinese chives, green onions, and some salt and pepper to taste. Add some Korean kimchi radish and it’s chef’s kiss!

See blog post for more detail on the ingredients (like which bone broth I bought) and full recipe ◡̈ You gotta use somen noodles for this recipe. It only takes 3 minutes to make. Tip: boil noodles at the same time as the broth to make cooking fast🍜

Wishing you luck, health and prosperity with this Wishing you luck, health and prosperity with this turnip cake recipe aka loh bok go in cantonese. Gung Hey Fat Choy ([恭喜发财] my dumplings! PS. I don’t recommend saying lai see dou loi unless you’re very close to that relative or you are a young child lol

Full recipe is linked in bio or find on my bloggg 🧧🐰

I finally finished testing out this recipe (it’s beeen a few months haha)! I was struggling with the texture for a little while. Now, the recipe is good to go ◡̈  The flavor is very savory from the chinese sausage and cured pork belly (made from my dad!) and also sweet from the radish. The texture is firm but not too doughy because I loaded this up with lots and lots of radish. You will never find a restaurant that has as much radish as this homemade recipe. Lastly, I pan fried the turnip cake to give it a nice crisp at the end. 

Don’t forget Chinese New Year is celebrated on the eve (21st of January!) so have a nice dinner with your family on Saturday. Then my mom told me to not clean or do any labor on actual Chinese New Years Day (22nd of January). Wishing all you dumplings good health and wealth in the upcoming year.

This egg drop soup is inspired by my parent’s Ch This egg drop soup is inspired by my parent’s Chinese restaurant 😋Silken tofu is cooked in a sweet chicken broth and cornstarch slurry is added to thicken the soup as well as make the smooth & thick texture. 

Some Cantonese restaurants serve this with real crab meat (highly recommend if you have this!) and the color is on the whiter end (hence why we’re using egg whites!). However, if you want to use the whole egg, feel free to use it! The egg yolk makes the soup more yellow and creamy. 

You can google ‘cook with dana egg drop soup’ for full recipe or find it in my link in bio! Hope you have a wonderful week my dumplings and can’t wait to show you my Chinese New Year recipes!

Fridge clean out time! 🙃 Crab jeon (omelette) o Fridge clean out time! 🙃 Crab jeon (omelette) or korean seafood pancake is a great recipe to use all your leftover ingredients in the fridge. For groceries, I always use the ‘first in, first out’ method meaning the older groceries need to be used before eating the new stuff. I’m chopping up leftover vegetables and onions in small pieces and mixing them together with imitation crab. The pancake may taste different depending on what ingredients you have but once you mix it with eggs and some flour (especially korean pancake mix!), it will taste scrumptious in it’s own unique way. 

The next time you stock up, make sure to keep some type of seafood in the freezer at all times. For me, I tend to buy extra imitation crab and shrimp. Then you will always have good staples to make with your leftover ingredients. 

Check link in bio for recipe or google ‘crab jeon dana’ to find full recipe and directions ◡̈ Stay dry california dumplings, there’s lots of rain here haha.
