Peking Pork Chops-Lum Lum Style

From the blog A Year of Slow Cooking

Thursday's Dinner!

6 pork chops
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon 5 Spice Powder
1/2 cup gluten free soy sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
4 cloves garlic, chopped

Put chops into the stoneware. In a small bowl, combine sugar, spices, soy sauce, ketchup, and garlic. Pour evenly over the top of chops. No need to add any other liquid. If you had an onion in the house, it might be a nice addition, but not necessary for flavor. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for about 4. If your chops are frozen they will take longer to cook. The longer you cook the meat, the more tender it will, but it might fall off the bone (which is fine in my mind, but some people really like intact meat).Serve with rice and veggies; ladle sauce on top.

I am making this tonight because the reviews are awesome! Unfortunately, I have to make some alterations. Not sure if my kikoman soy sauce is gluten free, but that's what I'm using! My kitchen staple is not complete yet, so I will be using regular boring white sugar instead of brown. Have no clue what this 5 spice powder is so i'm just forgoing that. I normally don't carry fresh garlic or ginger because I don't use it often enough to justify buying it and then wasting it. So I have the minced ginger and garlic that comes in jar!

So I guess the only thing I'm keeping is the pork chop and ketchup!!!!!

Let you all know how it is! Will take a picture of Roger eating it!

  1. You can use any soy sauce, the reason she uses gluten free is because one of her kids is allergic. But if you are R are okay, then load up on the gluten!
