Interesting Facts

Peking Pork Chops is a popular dish in Chinese-American cuisine, known for its sweet and savory flavors.

The marinade used in this recipe is a traditional combination of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, and rice vinegar, which adds depth and richness to the dish.

Chinese five spice powder, made from a blend of star anise, cloves, Chinese cinnamon, Sichuan pepper, and fennel seeds, gives the pork chops a unique and aromatic flavor.

The cooking technique of searing the pork chops in a hot skillet ensures a caramelized crust and tender interior, resulting in perfectly cooked chops.
