INDONESIAN PORK-BABI PANGANG



Indonesian Pork-Babi Pangang image

This Indonesian pork dish has as many variations in the Netherlands as hamburgers and pizza's do in America. This is my own variation, with the biggest difference that I add chili oil or paste to it. Babi Pangang is supposed to be a sweet spiced dish, not hot. The ginger, garlic and lemon juice are also often left out. Serve with rice and an Indonesian vegetable dish or as part of a Rijsttafel. Do use shoulder chops, you will need that bit of fat which they have. I do realise this sounds strange, but I also like this finely chopped in a salad stuffed pita with tzatziki. Prep time does not include marinating time.

Squeeze out the air, and seal, using your hands to squish bag and distribute marinade evenly. Place in refrigerator and let marinade for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours. Preheat oven to 425. Heat the vegetable oil in large oven-proof skillet (I like cast iron) over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Place the entire skillet into the preheated oven, and cook until a meat thermometer registers 160 degrees - about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes before slicing.

Boil for 1 minute, then turn off heat. Pour sauce over the sliced tenderloin and sprinkle with chopped cilantro for garnish.

INDONESIAN LIVER ( BEEF, CHICKEN OR PORK )



Indonesian Liver ( Beef, Chicken or Pork ) image

If you read this recipe and think that it is hot you might like to know that the original recipe uses 14 small red peppers! Add more if you like. I only taste the sauce of this, because I don't like liver, and think it is hot enough. If you cannot get the lime leaves the only substitute I know of is lime zest. The flavors do improve if you make it in advance and then reheat.

SPICY INDONESIAN PORK SATAY (OR CHICKEN)



Spicy Indonesian Pork Satay (Or Chicken) image

One teaspoon of dried red pepper flakes with give you a mild heat flavor for more spice then increase the pepper flakes. Plan ahead the pork needs to marinade 8-24 hours. Make certain to soak the wooden skewers a minimum of 30 minutes before threading and grilling. Serve with favorite dipping sauce or you can use whatever leftover marinade that you have after basting the satay as a dipping sauce if desired. Make certain to use only low-sodium soy sauce for this recipe, also if you are using peanuts in place of peanut butter they must be unsalted. The recipe may be doubled but divided into two separate recipes and the pork marinated in two separate bowls. This will work well on on an indoor grill or oven broiler heat.

INDONESIAN PORK



Indonesian Pork image

I'm not sure where I found this recipe, but it sounded so weird to me at the time, I just had to try it. I do alot of outdoor cooking on the grill. I'm lucky enough to have a Big Green Egg out on my deck to cook on. It is a ceramic barbecue with a fire brick interior and uses charcoal. You can use a gas grill, too... just be sure to try this recipe. You will be pleasantly surprise

Provided by luvmybge

Categories     Pork

Time 3h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 -3 lbs boneless pork loin
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon crushed hot red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon brown sugar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
2 green onions, minced (optional)
1/2 cup chicken broth (any broth is fine)

Steps:

  • What I do is take a 2-3 pound piece of boneless pork loin and cut it into"chops" and then cut the chops in half and then pound each half until thin.
  • Combine the marinade ingredients and pour over pork.
  • Thoroughly coat all pieces of meat.
  • (I put everything in a Ziploc plastic bag).
  • Marinate for several hours.
  • When ready to cook, thread pork onto skewers (I kind of"sew" the meat back and forth onto the skewers) and cook on heated grill over moderate heat for 12-14 minutes, turning once.
  • It doesn't take long for the pork to cook because it has been pounded thin, so be sure not to overcook it or it will be dry.

INDONESIAN PORK TENDERLOIN RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Indonesian Pork Tenderloin Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by á-25087

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound)
1/4 cup apricot preserves
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 Tbsp creamy peanut butter
1 lime, juiced
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Combine preserves, garlic, coriander, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, peanut butter, lime juice, crushed red pepper and black pepper in a small bowl. Whisk well to combine, paying attention to break up the peanut butter. Place pork tenderloin in gallon sized Ziploc bag and pour the marinade on top. Squeeze out the air, and seal, using your hands to squish bag and distribute marinade evenly. Place in refrigerator and let marinade for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours. Preheat oven to 425. Heat the vegetable oil in large oven-proof skillet (I like cast iron) over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the pork tenderloin, and sear on all sides, until it's nicely browned - about 7 minutes or so. Place the entire skillet into the preheated oven, and cook until a meat thermometer registers 160 degrees - about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes before slicing. While the pork is in the oven, pour the marinade into a small saucepan. If it seems too thick, add a splash or orange juice or water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute, then turn off heat. Pour sauce over the sliced tenderloin and sprinkle with chopped cilantro for garnish.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork: For this recipe, it's best to use pork belly or pork shoulder. These cuts have a good amount of fat, which will help keep the meat moist and flavorful.
  • Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. The longer you marinate the pork, the more flavorful it will be. You can marinate the pork for several hours or overnight.
  • Slow-cook the pork: Slow-cooking the pork is the best way to ensure that it is cooked through and tender. You can slow-cook the pork in a Dutch oven, a slow cooker, or an Instant Pot.
  • Baste the pork: Basting the pork while it is cooking helps to keep it moist and flavorful. You can baste the pork with the marinade, or you can make a new basting sauce.
  • Serve the pork with your favorite sides: This recipe is very versatile, and you can serve it with a variety of sides. Some popular sides include rice, mashed potatoes, and roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Indonesian pork is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors is sure to please everyone at your table. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting recipe to try, give Indonesian pork a try!
