HOISIN-GLAZED PORK BOWL WITH VEGETABLES



Hoisin-Glazed Pork Bowl With Vegetables image

Inspired by Chinese char siu pork, this weeknight recipe uses an easy cooking method that yields a tasty sauce with a subtle sweetness. The tangy hoisin marinade for the pork can do its job in just 24 seconds or 24 hours. It coats the tenderloin as it cooks, leaving behind caramelized bits in the bottom of pan, which then get deglazed to create a dressing that flavors the rice. As for the garnishes, use as many crisp-tender vegetables as you like, and change them up as you please. Sugar snap peas would be good here, as would shredded napa cabbage, or just about anything fresh and crunchy.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons Sriracha
1 large garlic clove, grated on a Microplane
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 to 1 1/4 pounds), cut crosswise into thirds
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 small carrots, peeled
2 large radishes (such as watermelon), or 4 small
4 scallions
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
4 cups cooked brown or black rice
2 ounces snow peas, trimmed
Pickled ginger (optional)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine hoisin, ketchup, honey, ginger, Sriracha, garlic and five-spice powder.
  • Season pork with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, then add to the marinade. Toss to evenly coat, cover, and set aside. You can let the pork marinate, covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours, or you can cook it right away.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Heat oil in a large (12-inch) nonstick, oven-proof skillet over medium-high. Remove pork from marinade, letting excess drip back into the bowl. (Reserve marinade.) Sear pork for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side and about 2 minutes on the other, until nicely browned and caramelized.
  • Remove from heat and pour remaining marinade over the pork, turning to coat evenly. Transfer pan to the oven and cook, turning in the sauce occasionally, for 10 to 20 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer reads 145 degrees. (The smallest piece of pork, from the thin end of the tenderloin will be done first, so begin checking temperature at 10 minutes and remove pieces from the oven as they are done.)
  • Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables: Use a peeler to shave the carrots lengthwise into strips. Slice the radishes paper-thin using a mandoline. Thinly slice the scallions on an angle.
  • Transfer pork to a plate and set aside to rest. Add rice wine vinegar and 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet and cook over medium-high, stirring constantly until you have a smooth sauce, adding more water if needed. It should be the consistency of heavy cream. Transfer to a small bowl, stirring in any juices that accumulated from the plate with the pork.
  • Distribute rice among 4 bowls. Thinly slice the pork and divide among the bowls. Drizzle the sauce over the pork and rice and garnish each bowl with the carrots, radishes, scallions, snow peas and pickled ginger, if using. Serve immediately.

CHAR SIU (CHINESE BBQ PORK)



Char Siu (Chinese BBQ Pork) image

"Char siu" literally means "fork roast" - "char" being "fork" (both noun and verb) and "siu" being "roast" - after the traditional cooking method for the dish: long strips of seasoned boneless pork are skewered with long forks and placed in a covered oven or over a fire. This is best cooked over charcoal, but it's important to cook with indirect heat.

Time 3h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pork tenderloins
½ cup soy sauce
⅓ cup honey
⅓ cup ketchup
⅓ cup brown sugar
¼ cup Chinese rice wine
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
½ teaspoon red food coloring
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder

Steps:

  • Cut pork with the grain into strips 1 1/2- to 2-inches long; put into a large resealable plastic bag.
  • Stir soy sauce, honey, ketchup, brown sugar, rice wine, hoisin sauce, red food coloring or red bean curd (see Cook's Note), and Chinese five-spice powder together in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until just combined and slightly warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the marinade into the bag with the pork, squeeze air from the bag, and seal. Turn bag a few times to coat all pork pieces in marinade.
  • Marinate pork in refrigerator, 2 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove pork from marinade and shake to remove excess liquid. Discard remaining marinade.
  • Cook pork on preheated grill for 20 minutes. Put a small container of water onto the grill and continue cooking, turning the pork regularly, until cooked through, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

CHAR SIU



Char Siu image

The reason for roasting the pork over a pan of water is that when the water heats up, it creates steam that circulates around the pork and moderates the oven temperature as well--both prevents the pork from drying out.

HOISIN GLAZED PORK



Hoisin Glazed Pork image

This taste just like the BBQ pork that the Asian market in our area sells. Believe the original recipe may have come from Cooking Light.

Provided by Debbwl

Categories     Pork

Time 25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons Bourbon
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon chili paste with garlic
1 garlic clove, minced
2 (1 lb) pork tenderloin, trimmed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Prepare grill.
  • Combine hoisin sauce and next 7 ingredients (hoisin through garlic) in a small bowl; stir with a whisk.
  • Slice pork lengthwise, but not through, other side. Open halves, laying pork flat. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Place pork on grill rack coated with cooking spray; cook 5 minutes. Turn and baste pork with hoisin mixture; cook 5 minutes. Turn and baste pork with hoisin mixture; cook 5 minutes or until pork reaches 155° or desired degree of doneness. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder or pork belly are great options because they have a good amount of fat that will keep the meat moist and tender during cooking.
  • Marinate the pork overnight: This step is essential for developing the flavor of the char siu. The longer you marinate the pork, the more flavorful it will be.
  • Use a good quality hoisin sauce: Hoisin sauce is a key ingredient in this dish, so make sure you use a good quality one. Look for a hoisin sauce that is thick and flavorful.
  • Cook the char siu over indirect heat: This will help to prevent the pork from drying out. If you are using a charcoal grill, place the coals on one side of the grill and cook the pork on the other side.
  • Baste the pork regularly: This will help to keep the pork moist and flavorful. Use a brush to baste the pork with the hoisin sauce every few minutes.
  • Cook the pork until it is tender: The pork is done cooking when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Hoisin glazed char siu is a delicious and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for a party or potluck, and it can also be served as a main course with rice or noodles. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it is a great way to experience the flavors of Chinese cuisine.
