Braised Pork Ribs with Vegetables

This savory Pork Chops with Lotus Root recipe is a delicious harmony of tender meat and crisp, earthy lotus root. Juicy pork chops are pounded for tenderness, then marinated with scallions, ginger, cooking wine, and oyster sauce for rich umami flavor. The lotus root is pan-fried to a golden crisp, adding a delightful texture. After searing the pork chops to perfection, they’re simmered with aromatic cinnamon, soy sauce, and a touch of sugar, creating a fragrant, slightly sweet glaze. The lotus root soaks up the savory sauce, making every bite irresistible. Perfect for a hearty meal, this dish balances tenderness, crunch, and deep, savory-sweet flavors. A must-try for anyone who loves comforting, restaurant-quality meals at home!
