TOMATO CANTONESE PORK
My mom made these while I was growing up and I make them a couple times a month. They are easy to make and the sauce tastes fantastic. Wonderful served with rice. This makes lots of sauce which is great for mixing with the rice. This has a nice tangy flavor, but much different from traditional sweet and sour sauce. The leftover chops are great sliced on a sandwich with some sauce the next day. Any extra sauce can be frozen.

- Dip chops into milk, then into mixture of breadcrumbs, flour, salt and pepper.

- To make sauce: Cut onion in half lengthwise and slice finely to form half rings.
- Brown in oil and drippings from browning chops.
- Add tomatoes and all remaining ingredients except cornstarch and water.
- Taste as it simmers and add more ketchup, HP Sauce or brown sugar to taste.
- Bring to boil and add cornstarch/water mixture, stirring well until the sauce thickens just a little bit.

- Add remaining chops and cover with remainder of sauce.
- Cover and bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until sauce is bubbly.
- With these measurements, you get alot of sauce and will have leftovers. If you have too much sauce, let it cool, put in a freezer container or ziploc bag and freeze. Alternatively, you can 1/2 the sauce recipe.
- It freezes very well.
Tips:
- Choose the right pork: Pork shoulder or pork butt are the best cuts for this dish, as they have a good amount of fat that will help keep the meat moist during cooking.
- Slice the pork thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
- Use a large skillet or wok: This will give the pork plenty of room to brown and prevent it from steaming.
- Cook the pork in batches: Don't overcrowd the pan, or the pork will not brown properly.
- Use a high-quality tomato sauce: This is the base of the dish, so it's important to use a sauce that has a rich flavor.
- Add the vegetables towards the end of cooking: This will help them retain their crunch and flavor.
- Serve the pork with rice: This is the traditional way to serve this dish, and it's a great way to soak up the delicious sauce.
