This song has no title

I fairly often do experimental cookery, depending on what's available in Mother Hubbard's cupboards. Usually the results are okay, sometimes they're quite dramatic failures. Last night's bash was so splendidly successful I've actually written down the recipe. I just don't know what to call it. It has a sort-of Chinesey flavour - any suggestions?

4 pork chops/steaks
1 onion
Garlic
1 tin chopped tomatoes
3-4 tbsp hoi-sin sauce

Chop onions and garlic and soften for a few minutes in a little oil. Add the pork and lightly seal meat, then remove meat. Add tomatoes and hoi-sin sauce and heat through. Put half the sauce into an ovenproof dish, place the meat on top and pour on the rest of the sauce.

Cover and cook at 180°C (350°, gas mark 4) for 1 hour.

Serve with rice, or noodles, or boiled potatoes, all with steamed vegetables.

Serves 4.
