Best 2 Tomato Cantonese Pork Recipes
Pork and tomato are a classic combination in Chinese cuisine, and this dish is no exception. The pork is marinated in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, Chinese rice wine, sugar, and ginger, then stir-fried until tender. The tomatoes are added to the wok and cooked until they are soft and juicy. The dish is finished with a simple sauce made from soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar. This recipe also includes instructions for making a vegetarian version of the dish, using tofu instead of pork. The vegetarian version is just as delicious as the traditional pork version, and it is a great option for those who are looking for a meatless meal.

TOMATO CANTONESE PORK
My mom made these while I was growing up and I make them a couple times a month. They are easy to make and the sauce tastes fantastic. Wonderful served with rice. This makes lots of sauce which is great for mixing with the rice. This has a nice tangy flavor, but much different from traditional sweet and sour sauce. The leftover chops are great sliced on a sandwich with some sauce the next day. Any extra sauce can be frozen.

Tips:
- To get the best flavor, use ripe, juicy tomatoes. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they have a low water content and a concentrated flavor.
- If you don't have Shaoxing wine, you can substitute dry sherry or Chinese rice wine.
- Be sure to brown the pork in batches so that it doesn't steam. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming tough.
- If you like a lot of sauce, you can add a little bit of chicken broth or water to the pan.
- Serve the pork with steamed rice or noodles.
