How to Cook Cold Peking Pork
- Remove the rind from the pork but do not discard it. Bring a large pan of water to the boil and blanch both the rind and the pork for about 5 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon, discard the liquid and chop the rind into small pieces. Rinse the pan clean and return the pork. Add all the braising liquid ingredients plus the pieces of rind. Bring the whole mixture to the boil, then turn down the heat to a very low simmer. Cover the pot and simmer for 2 hours.
- Remove the cooked pork from the pan with a slotted spoon, allow to cool a little then carefully remove any bone, keeping the meat as intact as possible. Place the pork in a dish or bowl of equivalent size. Skim off as much fat as possible from the liquid, turn the heat back to high and reduce the liquid to half. Strain the reduced liquid and pour it over the meat in the bowl. Allow it to cool, then leave it in the refrigerator overnight.
- Just before serving, remove the pork and slice it as thinly as possible. If the juice has jelled, cut it into cubes and arrange as a garnish around the pork, otherwise, simply pour some of the cooled liquid over the pork slices and serve with a cold salad either as a starter or a main course.

You can ask your butcher to debone your meat for you, but be sure to retain the rind since it adds to the taste and texture of the juice.
Reviews of Cold Peking Pork
![]() Being the daughter of two chefs, it is hard to capture my taste buds. but this recipe was quick and easy and all of my kids loved this as well as my husband and parents! I made rice and noodles to go with this along with an oriental salad as some like rice and others like noodles. I will defintelty be putting this one in my recipe box! alice (3 reviews) |
![]() This was a perfect addition to a summer buffet we'd been planning. Nobody could guess at the flavours until we pointed out it was Chinese recipe. They all raved over it and I had to print off this page and circulate to all the ladies! I'll certainly be doing this again. lizzy (3 reviews) |
