Tips and Alternatives
To make a delicious Chinese pork chop, remember to marinate the pork overnight and use cheese that melts easily like mozzarella and cheddar. It’s best not to substitute it with other types of cheese to enjoy the cheesy and stringy texture. If you’ve got fresh tomatoes waiting to be used, then go ahead! You can replace canned tomatoes with fresh ones. Feel free to replace pork chops with chicken chops too. You can use chicken breast or boneless chicken thigh for the chicken chops.
