PEKING PORK CHOPS
I believe I am the original poster of this recipe. My mom handed this recipe down to me several years ago and it has recently become very popular with busy moms all over the Internet. Try using Chinese ketchup instead of regular. Serve with steamed white rice like jasmine or basmati and/or Chinese noodles.

PEKING PORK CHOPS - SLOWCOOKER
Since I handed off so much food, she froze these chops and reheated them for dinner the other day. I love it that these pork chops not only tasted good, they withstood being slow-cooked, frozen, and reheated. And I'm thrilled that I was able to contribute to a freezer-stash, yay!

Steps:
- Put chops into the stoneware. In a small bowl, combine sugar, spices, soy sauce, ketchup, and garlic. Pour evenly over the top of chops. No need to add any other liquid. If you had an onion in the house, it might be a nice addition, but not necessary for flavor.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for about 4. If your chops are frozen they will take longer to cook. The longer you cook the meat, the more tender it will, but it might fall off the bone.
Tips:
- To tenderize the pork chops, you can use a meat mallet or a fork to pound them gently.
- Make sure the pork chops are dry before you coat them in the flour mixture. This will help the coating adhere better.
- If you don't have sweet and sour sauce, you can make your own by combining ketchup, brown sugar, pineapple juice, vinegar, and soy sauce.
- You can also add other vegetables to this dish, such as sliced bell peppers, onions, or carrots.
- Serve the pork chops with rice or noodles.
Conclusion:
Peking pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of sweet and sour flavors is sure to please everyone. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover pork chops.
