The new Mongolian Pork entrée features a savory,umami flavor profile -combining a hint of sweetness from the caramelized onions, scallions, red peppers, and mushrooms with the smokiness of the seared pork.
Panda Express launches their first pork-entrée on its Philippines menu in time of the Mother’s Day Celebration, Sunday, May 9. The new Mongolian Pork features a tender cut of wok- seared porkshoulder and crisp vegetables, wok-tossed in a savory ginger and garlic sauce.
This entrée is traditionally made with pork, stir-fried with white and green onions, but Panda Express deepened the layers of flavors by adding bell peppers and mushrooms, making it uniquely American Chinese.
The chefs’ technique mastering heat, flame, and the wok brings out the “Wok Hei,” or “breath of the wok,” which creates a smoky, umami flavor in the dish.
The complex flavors of this entrée is done through layering of ingredients: first, the aromatics as the flavor base; second, the pork that is seared perfectly to lock in the juiciness; third, the freshly-cut vegetables are cooked to bring out a sweet caramelization and finished with a ginger and garlic soy sauce.
Pair this delicious dish with the famous Orange™ Chicken—Panda’s signature crispy chicken dish wok-tossed in a sweet and spicy orange sauce, or choose the award-winning Honey Walnut Shrimp which is made with large tempura-battered shrimp tossed in a honey sauce and topped with glazed walnuts. Complete the plate with Panda’s delicious Chow Mein, a stir-fried noodle dish with onions, celery, and cabbage.
Panda’s Mongolian Pork is available at participating locations (Megamall and North EDSA) for dine-in and take out. It is also available for delivery via GrabFood® and foodpanda®.
