Panda Express launches new dish this Mother’s Day: Mongolian Pork

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.

MANILA, Philippines—Celebrate this Mother’s Day with agift of love and flavorfrom Panda Express. Launching on May 9^th, Panda Express is debuting another popularentree,Mongolian Pork, which is the first pork entrée on its Philippines menu.

The Mongolian Pork is made with tender pork shoulder 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 choosethe award-winningHoney Walnut Shrimp which is made with large tempura-battered shrimp tossed in a honey sauceandtopped with glazed walnuts.
