Hong Kong Style Pork Chop

Tonight, I made Hong Kong Style Baked Pork Chop.  I made it because I always order it in Hong Kong Cafes.  It was easy.  This is was how I made it.  First, I marinated the pork chop with soy sauce and corn starch. Then I fried the pork chop over medium heat for 2 minutes on each side.  Then, I made the tomato sauce, which is the highlight of this dish.  It is easy.  Stir fry some chopped onions over high heat.  Then, throw in the tomatoes.  I had some packets of ketchup at home from McDonald's so I used 3 packets.  I put in a couple of drops of light soy sauce.  Finally, I poured half a can of chicken broth into this mixture and brought this "soup" to a boil.  To thicken the sauce, I poured in a slurry of corn starch and water.  For the rice, I made fried rice with scrambled eggs, frozen carrots, peas and beans. I poured the fried rice into a casserole dish, placed the fried pork chop on top, covered it with the tomato sauce and sprinked parmesean cheese on top and put it into the toaster oven at 250 degrees celsius and waited until I saw that the cheese started to brown.  I pulled the casserole dish out of the oven and dinner was ready.

Mommy Hang Out

During my pregnancy, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes.  My husband was very supportive to keep my blood sugars under control. He was very careful to shop for healthy groceries. He has always been a healthy food conscious shopper anyways but he was super conscious about it during my pregnancy. During my first visit at the diabetes clinic at the Women's Hospital, I started chatting with another expectant mommy in the waiting room. We exchanged contacts because we seemed to enjoy chatting. We met up once after our babies were born and gave each other baby gifts. We also exchanged diapers and a baby outfit.  During our next meet up, I am getting us bubble tea to celebrate that we have no diabetes now! I am grateful to make a new friend in such an unexpected environment; the diabetes clinic.

Soy Sauce Chicken

My mom and baby and I had the Subway Melts for lunch because we had a coupon for them.  For dinner, I made soy sauce chicken tonight. I had leftover onions, carrot and tomato so they were thrown in there. So this was how I cooked it. I first use oil to fry up the minced garlic,  ginger and onion to get the flavour out. Then, I threw in the chicken drum sticks, added some light soy sauce and a teaspoon of dark soy sauce. I added a cup of water and waited until the mixture boiled. Then, I threw in the tomato and carrot and boiled everything for five minutes. I had to flip the drum sticks over at the three minute mark. Finally, I simmered the pot for around 15 minutes and it is ready.
