Hoisin Pork Cutlets With Onions & Mushrooms
[FROM THE ARCHIVES, 2013] While doing an inventory of my pantry I found a new jar of Hoisin Sauce and immediately I wanted to cook something with it. Hoisin has that sweet taste that’s perfect for marinating meat, adding into stir-fry dishes, and as an added component into a soy based dip for dumplings. You can tell how much I love this Asian condiment by the many hoisin-based recipes in the archives. for this pork dish I decided to play up on the Pork with Mushrooms and Bistek(beef & onions) dishes. As expected, it was delicious with rice.
