Pork udon with chili peanut sauce

For fans of sate / satay peanut sauce, here's a delightful way to bring its flavors to the dinner table even if the weather does not permit grilling skewered meat. Udon and thin slices of pork are tossed with peanut sauce flavored with chili, garlic, ginger, five-spice powder, soy sauce and sugar. Salty, sweet, spicy, nutty and creamy. You’ll be scraping any sauce left at the bottom of the bowl.

Salt and pepper pork chops (Cantonese-style)

Velveting the pork makes the meat moist and tender. Frying twice, first over medium heat and a second time over high heat, gives the pork the crispiest crust.
