Time 2h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

4 cups peaches, peeled and sliced
1 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup ketchup
2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
2 tablespoons ginger, minced
One 2 1/2-pound boneless pork loin roast
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken stock
2 cups white rice
3 tablespoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons Chinese five-spice powder
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
3 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 cup trimmed snow peas
1 red onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup mandarin orange supremes
4 scallions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
Roasted peanuts, for serving
Mandarin oranges, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • For the pork and peach bbq sauce: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the peaches, brown sugar, ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic and ginger in a food processor or blender.
  • Pat the pork dry with paper towels and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Reserve half (about 2 cups) of the peach BBQ sauce and set aside. Transfer the pork, fat-side up, to a rack over a heavy-bottomed roasting pan and brush the rest of the sauce all over the pork. Add the stock to the bottom of the roasting pan.
  • Roast the pork until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 140 degrees F, about 1 hour. Transfer the pork to a baking sheet to rest for 10 minutes. Reserve 1 1/4 pounds for the stir fry, and reserve the rest for leftovers or another recipe.
  • Remove the rack from the roasting pan and place on the stove over medium-high heat. Whisk in the reserved BBQ sauce and scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate the browned sauce. Cook until slightly reduced and thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • For the stir fry: Cook the rice according to the package directions.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of the sesame oil to a small saute pan and heat over medium heat until it begins to shimmer; turn off the heat, add the five-spice powder and cool to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, orange juice, sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl.
  • Slice the pork into 1/4-inch rounds, then slice again to make 1/2-inch-wide strips. Place the pork in a medium bowl and season with the sesame oil and five-spice mixture.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over high heat until very hot in a large skillet or wok. Add the peas, onions and bell peppers and stir-fry until the vegetables begin to soften, about 1 minute. Add the ginger and garlic and continue to stir-fry for an additional minute. Finally, add the sliced pork, the soy-vinegar mixture and scallions and continue to cook until the pork has warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Cook until the sauce thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and give it a few more stirs. Serve over the rice and garnish with roasted peanuts and mandarin oranges, if desired.

When the budget is tight try dressing up leftovers and serving as a stir-fry over ramen noodles. This can be made with uncooked pork loin or with leftover pork.

If serving to children you might need to adjust the Sambal Oelek accordingly.
