1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Turn on an 8-quart multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®), select Saute function, and allow to preheat.
  • Combine paprika, salt, ground ginger, and white pepper in a small bowl. Rub tenderloins on all sides with the mixture.
  • Combine chicken broth, soy sauce, and rice vinegar in a separate bowl; you should have 2 cups, the recommended amount of cooking liquid in an 8-quart pot. Check your owner's manual for recommended liquid amount for other sizes and adjust accordingly.
  • Pour avocado oil into the Instant Pot® and heat until shimmering. Add tenderloins to brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove tenderloins to a plate, add liquid mixture to the pot, and scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pot, stirring all together. Turn off Saute function.
  • Place a rack or trivet into the Instant Pot® and place tenderloins on the rack. Close and lock the lid and set vent to Sealing. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 1 minute. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Let pork cook until internal temperature reaches 135 to 140 degrees F (57 to 60 degrees C). Place tenderloins on a cutting board and cover with foil to rest while you make the glaze. Internal temperature should rise to 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove about 3 tablespoons of cooking liquid and set aside.
  • Select Saute function and bring remaining cooking liquid in the pot to a boil. Allow to reduce to about 1 cup, 3 to 10 minutes, depending on how much liquid was used for the size of the pot. Add preserves, sambal oelek, grated ginger, garlic, and sesame oil; cook for about 2 minutes.
  • Create a slurry of the reserved 3 tablespoons cooking liquid and cornstarch in a small bowl. Continue cooking on the Saute function and add the slurry, stirring constantly until the liquid comes to a boil and thickens slightly. Pour glaze carefully into a container.
  • Slice the pork, drizzle with glaze, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and garnish with cilantro. Serve warm with additional glaze for dipping, if desired.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 6h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 pounds boneless pork shoulder
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup dry sherry
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 star anise pods
1 cinnamon stick
5 cloves garlic, smashed
1 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and sliced
6 to 8 whole dried shiitake mushrooms
1 pound soba or ramen noodles
1/4 cup water chestnuts, sliced
2 Fresno chile peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
2 scallions, sliced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Season the pork with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with the vegetable oil. Add the pork and brown on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Combine the broth, soy sauce, sherry, sugar, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, star anise and cinnamon stick in a 5-quart slow cooker. Stir to dissolve the sugar, then add the garlic, ginger and mushrooms. Add the pork, cover and program to cook 4 hours on high, then 2 hours on low, or 6 hours total on low.
  • Transfer the pork to a platter, cover and let rest 15 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the broth and halve them, then return to the broth.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles as the label directs. Slice the pork. Divide the noodles among bowls and top with some of the broth and mushrooms and a few slices of pork. Garnish with the water chestnuts, chiles, scallions and cilantro.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder is the best choice for this recipe because it is a flavorful and affordable cut of meat. It is also very forgiving, so it can withstand being cooked for a long time without becoming dry.
  • Brown the pork before braising: Browning the pork in a hot skillet before braising it helps to develop its flavor and color. It also helps to create a fond, which is a flavorful brown residue that forms on the bottom of the pan. The fond adds depth of flavor to the braising liquid.
  • Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is what gives the pork its flavor, so it is important to use a flavorful liquid. A good braising liquid will typically contain a combination of broth, water, wine, and spices. You can also add vegetables to the braising liquid for extra flavor.
  • Cook the pork until it is fall-apart tender: The pork should be cooked until it is fall-apart tender. This will typically take at least 2 hours, but it may take longer depending on the size and toughness of the pork shoulder. You can check the pork for doneness by inserting a fork into it. If the fork slides in easily, the pork is done.
  • Serve the pork with your favorite sides: Asian pork can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables. It can also be served with a dipping sauce, such as hoisin sauce or soy sauce.

Conclusion:

Asian pork is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to make ahead of time and reheat for later. With its flavorful braising liquid and fall-apart tender pork, this dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
