Apple Cola Pork Chop


Apple Cola Pork Chop

This pork chop is absolutely amazing! The apple aroma is incredibly prominent, sweet but not cloying, and the flavor seeps into every strand of meat. The best part is the braising sauce; it's glistening with oil, the salty and sweet flavors perfectly balanced—you could easily eat an extra bowl of rice with it! The meat is pork shoulder, with a bit of fat, crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. The apple, soaked in the fruity aroma, is soft and fluffy, and when eaten with the meat, it's refreshing and delicious—you won't want to lick the plate clean!

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Select pork shoulder with marbling. Use a meat mallet (or the back of a knife if you don't have one) to tenderize and flatten the meat, making it less firm and drier. Then add black pepper, cooking wine, a pinch of baking soda, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, shredded ginger, and cornstarch. Mix well and marinate for at least 3 hours (the longer the marinating time, the more flavorful it will be; marinating overnight is even better!).

  2. Core and chop the apples, and slice/chop the onions. Put everything in a plate and set aside to avoid being flustered when cooking.

  5. Bring the cola sauce to a boil over high heat, then reduce to the lowest heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes (turning the pork chops once during this time) to allow the sweetness of the apple and the aroma of the cola to fully infuse the meat. Finally, turn the heat to high and reduce the sauce until it thickens and coats the pork chops. Then turn off the heat and plate the pork chops!
