Sándwich de chola

In La Paz's southern neighbourhoods, women in bowler hats and pollera skirts sell sándwich de chola from riverside stalls on weekend afternoons: a soft round roll stuffed with slices of juicy roast pork, crackling, pickled carrot and onion, and a fiery locoto sauce. This recipe uses pork tenderloin so it is ready in under an hour, but leftover roast pork leg is just as authentic. The mistake people make is slicing the pork thick and dry; it should be thin, rosy and moist. Chef's tip: dip the cut side of each roll briefly in the roasting juices before filling.

Breaded pork tenderloin sandwich

The breaded pork tenderloin sandwich is the pride of small-town diners in Indiana and Iowa: a pork cutlet pounded so thin and wide that the crisp, golden edges stick out far beyond the bun. It came from the German schnitzel tradition of the farming towns, and people drive miles to compare them. It's dressed simply with mustard, pickles, onion and lettuce. Chef's tip: pound the pork evenly to 5 mm; thin pork cooks through in the time it takes the crumb to turn golden.

Guo bao rou

Created in a Harbin government kitchen in the early 1900s to please Russian guests, this is the north-east's own sweet-and-sour pork, and every Dongbei restaurant still serves a heaped plate of it. Large, thin slices of tenderloin go into a thick potato-starch coating, are fried twice until they shatter, then are tossed in a pale, sharp sugar-and-vinegar glaze with shreds of ginger, carrot and coriander. Unlike the red Cantonese version there is no ketchup and no pineapple; the flavour is cleaner and more sour. Bring it to the table the second it leaves the wok, alongside steamed rice and a cold cucumber salad. Chef's tip: soak the potato starch in water for an hour and pour off the clear liquid; the thick paste underneath gives the crispest coating.
