HAWAIIAN-STYLE BRAISED PORK WITH STIR-FRIED CABBAGE



Hawaiian-Style Braised Pork With Stir-Fried Cabbage image

This is a recipe that I found online and can't wait to make it. Here's what the author said. "My wife, Jean, and I run a coffee farm on the Big Island of Hawaii," writes George Fike of Keauhou Mauka, Hawaii. "I really love to cook, so we entertain a lot, and I enjoy planning the dinners as much as I do making them. I tell people the best restaurant in town is our house! Since I do most of the cooking, recipes must either be relatively fast or look after themselves. My recipe for Hawaiian-style pork has both of those qualities. It's based on the traditional Hawaiian kalua pig, in which the meat is steamed in an underground oven. For this version, you don't have to dig a pit in your back yard, and once everything's in the pot - which involves chopping a few ingredients - it cooks slowly but doesn't require a lot of attention." Complete this main course with steamed rice.

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 1/2 pounds boneless country-style pork spareribs, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 garlic cloves, chopped
4 green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped peeled fresh ginger
1 14-ounce can low-salt chicken broth
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1/4 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
Stir-fried Cabbage

Steps:

  • Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add 1/3 of pork to pot and sauté until brown, about 6 minutes; transfer to bowl. Repeat with remaining pork. Add garlic, green onions, and ginger to pot; sauté 1 minute. Return pork and any juices to pot. Add 1 1/2 cups broth, soy sauce, sugar, crushed red pepper, and five-spice powder; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until pork is very tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Stir remaining broth and cornstarch in cup to dissolve; mix into pork. Simmer until gravy thickens, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Season with pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly and chill. Rewarm over low heat.) Serve pork with cabbage.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork: Pork shoulder is the best cut for this dish, as it is flavorful and has a good amount of fat. If you can't find pork shoulder, you can also use pork butt or pork loin.
  • Brown the pork before braising: Browning the pork adds flavor and helps to keep it moist. To brown the pork, heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides.
  • Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is what gives the pork its flavor, so it's important to use a flavorful liquid. Some good options include chicken broth, beef broth, vegetable broth, or water with added spices and herbs.
  • Cook the pork until it is fall-apart tender: The pork should be cooked until it is very tender and can be easily shredded with a fork. This usually takes about 2-3 hours.
  • Serve the pork with rice or noodles: Hawaiian pork and cabbage is traditionally served with rice or noodles. You can also serve it with mashed potatoes or your favorite side dish.

Conclusion:

Hawaiian pork and cabbage is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork is braised in a flavorful liquid until it is fall-apart tender, and the cabbage is cooked until it is soft and slightly sweet. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
