* This recipe is inspired by the former chef Au Kwok Keung at China Tang. My dad loves this dish but since Chef Au no longer working there and restaurant no longer serve this dish, I need to find out and experiment how to cook this. From an interview that Chef Au did with a newspaper years ago, I experimented. You can always replace the following tomatoes with those you like. Chef Au only said use a few types of fresh tomatoes and cooked for 2-3 hours...:)
Ingredients:
Italian San Marzano tomatoes x 1 kg
Italian Cherry tomatoes x 500g
Italian Datterino tomatoes x 500g
Onion x 1 - minced
Shallots x 1 bowl - minced
Tomato paste
Parmesan cheese - grated
How to Make:
1. Gently cut a cross on all tomatoes. Boil a pot of water. Drop all tomatoes inside the pot, switch off heat. After 2-3 minutes, when you see some skin peeling off from tomatoes, remove them at once and put them to a bowl of ice water.
2. Gently remove all skins from tomatoes. For the San Marzano or plum tomatoes, remove seeds from centre too. You can omit removing seeds part for cherry or detterino tomatoes.
3. Diced all tomatoes.
4. In a pot big enough to hold all tomatoes, heat it up, add some olive oil, cook the minced shallots and onion until fragrant and tender, then add all tomatoes. Mix well, add a round of tomato paste, then season all with salt and brown sugar. Once boiled, turn down the heat to medium/medium low and cook for at least 2 hours. You have to observe from time to time how the sauce is cooking. When you see no more "liquid" inside the pot and the tomatoes getting quite condensed, then you are almost done.
5. Preheat Grill to 230'C.
6. Cook your fried pork chop and fried rice your way. Put fried rice to a baking tray, all pork chop on top, then spread the tomato sauce on top of pork chop. Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese and grill in oven for 5-10 min until you see the grated cheese and top of tomato sauce a bit brown, then ready to serve.
enjoy!
