How to Make Peking Pork Chops
  1. Pat dry the pork tenderloin using kitchen paper towels. Use a mallet to pound the slices until tender, then set aside.
  2. In a bowl, blend the marinade ingredients. Add the pork slices and ensure they are evenly coated. Let marinate for about 30 minutes.
  3. In another bowl, combine all the Peking sauce ingredients and set aside.
  4. Heat enough oil for deep-frying in a wok over medium-high heat. Fry the pork slices for about 5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Bring the sauce to a boil, add the fried pork chops, and stir to coat. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
