GINGER AND LEMON PORK AND CHICKEN



Ginger and Lemon Pork and Chicken image

This is a combination of 2 recipes from the Australian Women's Weekly Chinese Cooking Class Cookbook which I have had since the 70's and is well used. Time to make doesn't include marinade time - I was cutting up vegetables for stir fry vegetables during this time, which were cooked up first and kept warm in the oven. The rice was cooking while cooking the chicken and pork - the whole meal was on the table within the hour.

SPICY GINGER AND LEMON CHICKEN



Spicy Ginger and Lemon Chicken image

This piquant chicken dish was brought to The Times in 1993 by the legendary French chef, Jacques Pépin. It is made with chicken legs that are skinned and then cooked with lemon and orange peels, fresh ginger, chile powder, cumin, cayenne, garlic and apple cider - a sweet and spicy mixture that pairs beautifully with the rich, dark meat of the chicken. It can be made ahead and reheated, so it makes a perfect dinner party entree.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your dish turns out perfectly.
  • Choose High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Use fresh, organic produce and high-quality meat and seafood.
  • Marinate Your Meat: Marinating the pork and chicken in the ginger-lemon mixture not only adds flavor but also helps to tenderize the meat.
  • Don't Overcook the Meat: Overcooked meat is tough and dry. Cook the pork and chicken until they are just cooked through, but still tender and juicy.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: A meat thermometer is the best way to ensure that your meat is cooked to the proper temperature. For pork, the internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C), and for chicken, it should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • Make Sure Your Sauce is Well-Balanced: The ginger-lemon sauce should be flavorful but not overpowering. Adjust the amount of ginger, lemon, and honey to your taste.
  • Garnish Before Serving: Garnish the dish with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, to add a pop of color and flavor.
