CLAY POT PORK

Provided by John Willoughby

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup chicken stock, more if necessary
3 tablespoons fish sauce
3 shallots, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons minced ginger
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 small fresh chili, minced optional
3 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced on the bias, green and white parts separated
1 1/2 pound boneless pork shoulder or pork belly cut into 1-inch cubes
Steamed white rice for serving

Steps:

  • Put the sugar in a medium-size heavy-bottomed pot and cook over medium heat, shaking gently every once in a while, until it starts to melt. Start stirring with a fork and continue, crushing clumps of sugar so that the sugar melts evenly. When the sugar is liquid, continue to cook for another minute or so until it darkens, then remove from heat.
  • Combine the chicken stock and fish sauce and carefully add at arm's length to the sugar (it will splutter and pop). Turn heat to medium high, return sugar mixture to the heat, and cook, stirring constantly, until well combined. (If the sugar clumps when you add the liquid, don't worry, it will melt again.)
  • Add the shallots, garlic, ginger, pepper, chili if using, and the white portion of the scallions. Cook, stirring frequently, until the shallots are nicely softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add pork to the pot and bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, partly cover and simmer gently, stirring occasionally and adding a splash of stock or water if the pan looks too dry, until the pork is very tender and the liquid has reduced to a medium-thick sauce, about 1 hour.
  • Remove from heat, add the green part of the scallions, and serve over steamed white rice.

Provided by lemon_melonz

Categories     Cantonese

Time 1h

Yield 4 1, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

450 g eggplants
170 g ground pork
1/2 tablespoon ginger, finely chopped
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 tablespoon garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon chili bean sauce
water, adjust while cooking
1 1/2 teaspoons light soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon cornflour
1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons water
pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons oyster sauce
2 teaspoons water
sesame oil, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon cornflour
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Method:.
  • Rinse eggplant. Trim and julienne as picture shown. Soak in water with a bit of salt dissolved for a while. Drain well. Marinate pork mince for 20 minutes.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a clay pot over medium. Sauté half of the minced garlic, shallot, ginger and chili bean sauce. Add eggplant and stir fry constantly. Also add hot water bit by bit all the way of stir frying. Don't add too much water at a time, just add small amount to avoid burning or sticking to the bottom of clay pot. Coat the eggplant with sauce evenly, then add some boiling water to simmer until eggplants softened.
  • While stir frying the eggplant, use another frying pan to heat some cooking oil. Add another half of minced garlic, shallot, ginger and chili bean sauce until aromatic. Add pork and stir fry until cooked.
  • When the eggplant is softened, toss the minced pork in clay pot. Stir fry quickly. Turn heat to medium. Add seasoning and continue to cook. Bring it to boil. Add thickening to your preference. Serve hot.
  • Note:.
  • It's not necessary to soak the julienned eggplant in water with salt. But this step would help to remove its bitterness and keep its purple colour fresh from cooking. Or simply peel off the skin instead.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork. Pork shoulder or butt is the best cut for this recipe, as it is well-marbled and will become tender and flavorful when cooked slowly.
  • Brown the pork before braising. This will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a flavorful braising liquid. Chicken broth, beef broth, or even water can be used, but adding some aromatic vegetables, herbs, and spices will really elevate the flavor of the dish.
  • Cook the pork until it is fall-apart tender. This will take at least 2 hours, but it is worth the wait.
  • Serve the pork with your favorite sides. Rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables are all good choices.

Conclusion:

Clay pot pork is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the braising liquid makes a delicious sauce that can be served over rice or potatoes. This recipe is also very versatile, so you can easily customize it to your liking. For example, you could add different vegetables, herbs, or spices to the braising liquid. You could also serve the pork with different sides, such as noodles or quinoa.
