Peking pork

Peking Pork () is a Chinese meat dish, although the dish’s name would be better translated as "Capital Rib.” “Peking”, referring to Beijing, China, is a misnomer. The dish actually refers to a Cantonese style sweet and sour dish. The "capital" may refer to Nanjing, a former capital city of China that is closer to the region where sweet and sour dishes originated. This dish consists of crisp deep-fried pork ribs which are coated in a sweet red sauce. The dish is only found in Chinese restaurants in Hong Kong and the USA, and is not found elsewhere in China or in Chinese restaurants in other countries. It's likely the origin of Pork Ribs King (), a similar dish popular in Singapore and Malaysia.
