Macau Pork Chop Buns (Costeleta à moda de Macau) (豬扒包)

Macau pork chop buns are one of the most popular and delicious eats from the Macau region. They are a combined fusion of Chinese and Portuguese cultural cuisine. Our awesome take on this wonderful dish uses the Portuguese flavor of olive oil and garlic in combination with the unique flavor of Himalayan salt and ginger from Macau cuisine. The delicious conclusion of finishing the sandwich and chewing on the pork bone can only be experienced by eating it yourself. It is a truly unique concoction of flavor and design and it is no surprise why it is such a popular eat in the area and across the world.

Ingredients:
1 thinly cut pork chop with the bone
1 Portuguese style bread bun
1 teaspoon coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon Himalayan salt (regular salt may also be used)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves chopped
1 small cube of ginger chopped

1) Place the pork chop in the frying pan and raise the heat and cook it for 3-5 minutes, until it is browned and reaches a golden color.
2) While letting the pork chop cook, butter the Portuguese style bread bun and place it in the toasted until crispy.
3) Once the pork chop is done and has browned place the pork chop in the bun with the bone facing outward.
4) Eat the sandwich and when done, finish by chewing the part on the bone!
