Categories     Pork

Time 16m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 lbs pork steaks (I use 3/4-inch thick sliced loin) or 5 lbs pork loin (I use 3/4-inch thick sliced loin)
1/3 cup hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon rice wine
1 1/2 teaspoons five-spice powder

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients, except pork, in a bowl and mix well.
  • Coat pork in mixture. I store mine in quart sized zipper bags, 2-3 chops per bag.
  • Let pork marinade in refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour. I marinate for 24 hours.
  • Cook outdoors on grill until done. On my grill that's 4-5 minutes per side.

MOUTHWATERING CHINESE MARINADE AND STIR-FRY SAUCE



Mouthwatering Chinese Marinade and Stir-Fry Sauce image

My mom is Chinese, and often catered for special events. Everyone always asked for the recipe for the sauce that she marinated her meats in. It is savory and delicious, and I've never tasted anything like it anywhere else! Whether you're baking, grilling, or pan-frying your meats, this can't be beat! I make several jars of this stuff at Christmas to give away as gifts. Everyone loves it! You can use this sauce either as a marinade or in stir-fry.

Time 10m

Yield 1 jar sauce, 25 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup oyster sauce (I prefer the Lee Kum Chee brand. You can buy it at oriental markets in bulk)
1 cup dark soy sauce
1/4 cup sesame oil
1/4 cup cooking sherry
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
1/4 cup pancake syrup (though this might seem bizarre, it's the most important ingredient. It caramelizes as it cooks, seal)
3 tablespoons of minced garlic (less if you're not a huge garlic fan)

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients and store in a large jar or Tupperware container. Store in refrigerator for up to three months. Mix well before using. Use on pork, chicken, beef, or as a stir-fry sauce.
  • When I use it on chicken, I add a little orange juice. For beef, I add a little Worcestershire sauce. For pork, I add a little brown sugar.
  • For best results, marinate your meats in the sauce overnight in a large zip-lock bag.

SPICY CHINESE MARINADE



Spicy Chinese Marinade image

This marinade works great with most meats, especially pork tenderloin, see recipe 90325. It goes well with beef short ribs, pork, or even chicken. Red pepper flakes control how spicy you would like it to be. Cook the meat on your outdoor grill, or regular oven to recommended temperatures. Cooking time depends, on the meat you choose.

  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. There are many different ways to make a Chinese marinade, so feel free to mix and match ingredients until you find a combination you like.
  • Let the meat marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will give the flavors time to penetrate the meat.
  • If you're short on time, you can marinate the meat for just 15 minutes. Just be sure to stir the marinade occasionally so that the meat is evenly coated.
  • When you're ready to cook the meat, be sure to drain the marinade. This will prevent the marinade from burning.

Chinese marinades are a great way to add flavor to your favorite meats. They're easy to make and can be used with a variety of different meats, including chicken, beef, pork, and seafood. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook your meat, try using a Chinese marinade. You won't be disappointed.
