Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely grated ginger
2 teaspoons Asian chili paste or sambal oelek
1/2 cup water, plus more if needed
1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp, each cut into thirds
2 tablespoons minced chives
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, plus more for drizzling
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Chicken stock or broth, homemade or store-bought, for boiling the wontons
50 wonton wrappers
1 large egg, beaten
All-purpose flour, for dusting
Cilantro leaves, for garnish
Serrano chiles, thinly sliced, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the spicy peanut sauce: Combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, oil, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, chili paste and water in a blender. Blend until smooth, adding more water as needed. Set aside.
  • For the wontons: In a large bowl, combine the pork, shrimp, chives, sesame oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Mix everything gently but thoroughly together with your hands (or a wooden spoon).
  • Bring a large saucepan filled with 3 to 4 inches of chicken stock to a boil.
  • Place 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture in the middle of a wonton wrapper. With your finger, dab the edges of the top half of the wrapper with beaten egg. Fold the top over to enclose the filling, press to seal the edges, then fold two corners in and press to seal the corners together. Place the finished wonton on a lightly floured baking sheet and repeat with the rest of the filling and wrappers.
  • When you have enough wontons to begin to cook, gently transfer wontons into the boiling stock, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Simmer until the filling is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Continue forming wontons while the batches cook.
  • Transfer cooked wontons to a bowl. Top with peanut sauce, a drizzle of toasted sesame oil, and garnish with some cilantro and serrano pepper slices. Enjoy!

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 9h5m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup soy sauce
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons water
2 pork tenderloins, about 12 ounces each
2 bacon slices
1 cup milk
1/4 cup chunky peanut butter
1 onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup soy sauce
Red pepper flakes, to taste

Steps:

  • In a glass baking dish, combine the soy sauce, garlic, onion, cayenne pepper, coriander, vinegar, and water. Stir to blend. Add the tenderloins and turn to coat them on all sides. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, turning occasionally. Remove the tenderloins from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before baking. Transfer the tenderloins to a shallow roasting pan, reserving the marinade. Place 1 bacon slice on top of each tenderloin. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. In a small saucepan, boil the reserved marinade for at least 5 minutes, then set aside. Roast the tenderloins uncovered, basting often with the marinade, for about 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat reads 160 degrees. While the pork is roasting, make the peanut sauce: In a blender, combine all the sauce ingredients and pulse until smooth. Place in a small saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce is heated thoroughly, adding more liquid if it is too thick. Set aside and keep warm. Place the roasted pork on a platter, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let stand for 10 minutes; then slice and serve with the warm peanut sauce.

PORK SATAY WITH THAI SPICES AND PEANUT SAUCE



Pork Satay With Thai Spices and Peanut Sauce image

Throughout Southeast Asia, little skewers of marinated meat, grilled over coals, are sold as street snacks. Sweetly fragrant with coconut milk and spices, they are perfect for barbecue parties served with steamed rice, or on their own with drinks, whether grilled indoors or out. You may use pork loin or tenderloin, but marbled sirloin or shoulder is more succulent.

Roast pork belly with caramelised peanut sauce image

Need a dinner party dish to impress? Roast pork belly is always popular and with added spice and an addictive peanut sauce, this will win your guests over

Provided by Diana Henry

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 cinnamon stick
3cm piece ginger , peeled and chopped
2 lime leaves , torn
½ tsp black peppercorns
2 garlic cloves , chopped
3 star anise , broken
1 ½kg boned pork belly joint, scored across (this makes it easier to slice)
a little olive oil
3cm piece ginger , peeled and grated
2 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp black peppercorns
2 tsp dried chilli flakes
1 tbsp groundnut oil
3 shallots , finely chopped
2 red chillies , deseeded and finely sliced
4 garlic cloves , finely chopped
3cm piece ginger , peeled and grated
1 ½ tbsp soft light brown sugar
2 lime leaves , left whole
1 tbsp fish sauce (nam pla)
2½ limes , juiced
100g crunchy peanut butter
¼-½ tsp tamarind paste
cooked rice and stir-fried greens, to serve

Steps:

  • Pound all of the ingredients for the spice rub together using a pestle and mortar. You'll end up with a coarse mixture. Transfer to a small bowl. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7.
  • To prepare the spices that will be simmered with the pork, pound the cinnamon, ginger, lime leaves and peppercorns using a pestle and mortar to a rough paste. Add the garlic. Roughly break up the star anise - it's much too strong if you pound it - and add that too. Tip the spice mixture into a flameproof roasting tin that the pork will fit into. Lay the pork on top, skin-side down. Add enough boiling water to come just up to the level of the meat. Bring to a simmer on the hob and cook for 20 mins.
  • Take the pork out of the water and pat it dry. Discard the water and spices in the tin, wash and dry. Set a rack inside the roasting tin and lay the pork on top, skin-side up. Spread the spice rub over the pork, then drizzle on a little oil and rub all over the pork. Sprinkle over some sea salt, put in the oven and cook for 20 mins, then turn the heat down to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and cook for a further 45 mins. Finish under the grill for 10 mins to crisp up the skin.
  • Make the sauce while the pork is cooking. Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the shallots over a medium heat until golden. Add the chilli, garlic, and ginger and cook for 2 mins, then add the sugar. Cook until the sugar caramelises - be careful not to burn it - then quickly add 300ml water (it will sizzle and spit a bit). Stir in the lime leaves, fish sauce, lime juice and peanut butter. Bring to a simmer, stirring to break down the peanut butter. Taste. I usually add a little tamarind paste, but you might prefer to add more lime juice or fish sauce. Serve the pork belly with the sauce, rice and greens.

Tips:

  • Selecting high-quality pork shoulder or tenderloin is key to a flavorful dish. Look for meat that is pink in color with minimal marbling.
  • To achieve a crispy texture, sear the pork in hot oil until it's golden brown before adding the sauce. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan, as this will hinder proper browning.
  • Use a food processor or high-powered blender to create a smooth and creamy peanut sauce. This will help incorporate all the ingredients evenly and prevent a grainy texture.
  • Adjust the spiciness of the sauce to your preference by varying the amount of chili paste or Sriracha sauce. Start with a small amount and gradually increase it until you reach the desired heat level.
  • Serve the pork in peanut sauce over a bed of fluffy rice or your favorite noodles to complete the meal. Garnish with chopped peanuts, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.

Conclusion:

In summary, this recipe offers a tantalizing blend of savory, spicy, and nutty flavors that will delight your taste buds. The tender pork, perfectly complemented by the rich and creamy peanut sauce, creates a harmonious dish that is both satisfying and memorable. Whether you're looking to impress your dinner guests or simply enjoy a delicious meal at home, this pork in peanut sauce is sure to become a favorite.
