HONEY-SOY BRAISED PORK WITH LIME AND GINGER

Honey-Soy Braised Pork With Lime and Ginger image

This is a wonderfully simple and hands-off way to prepare a flavorful hunk of meat, equally suited to a weeknight or a dinner party. There is no need to brown the pork first because the meat gets appealingly dark and caramelized while braising in the rich combination of soy sauce and honey. Fresh cilantro, scallions and a squeeze of lime added just before serving bring freshness. This meal is flexible: It works over rice or other whole grains, tossed with noodles or wrapped in lettuce leaves.

Time 4h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 to 4 pounds boneless, skinless pork shoulder, trimmed of big hunks of fat and cut into 2 pieces
8 large garlic cloves, smashed and finely chopped
3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger (from one 3-inch piece)
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more to taste
2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest and 2 tablespoons juice (from 1 lime), plus more lime wedges for serving
1 cup tamari or low-sodium soy sauce (see Tip)
1 cup honey
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
Cooked rice, noodles or lettuce cups, for serving
Toasted sesame seeds, sliced scallions and chopped cilantro, for topping

Steps:

Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Place the pork in a large Dutch oven that has a lid. Scatter the garlic, ginger, red-pepper flakes and lime zest over the top. In a measuring cup, whisk together the tamari, honey and sesame oil, then pour it over the pork. Using tongs, turn to coat all sides of the pork in the sauce, and spoon some over the top so that some of the garlic and ginger is on top of the pork. Cover, transfer to the oven and cook for 2 hours.
Uncover the pot and flip both chunks of pork. Cover the pot and braise until the pork shreds easily with a fork, about 1 more hour. Transfer to the stovetop.
Using tongs, transfer the pork to a serving platter or a large shallow serving bowl. Using a ladle, skim and discard the excess fat off the surface of the cooking liquid remaining in the Dutch oven, if desired. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat and let it simmer until reduced and slightly syrupy, about 8 minutes.
While the sauce simmers, coarsely shred the pork using two forks. Sprinkle the lime juice over the top of the meat. Drizzle about half the sauce over the top of the shredded meat, then toss to combine. Serve over rice or noodles or in lettuce cups. Top with sesame seeds, scallions and cilantro. Pass the remaining sauce at the table, if desired, as well as extra lime wedges and red-pepper flakes.

Categories main-dish

Time 3h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

4 carrots, chopped
2 leeks, rinsed well and chopped
3 pounds bone-in beef short ribs, fat trimmed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
1/3 cup sherry
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups instant brown rice
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup chopped scallions
2 tablespoons minced pickled jalapenos
1 teaspoon lime zest

Steps:

Heat a large Dutch oven and arrange carrots and leeks on the bottom. Season ribs all over with salt and pepper and place over vegetables. In a medium bowl, whisk together broth, sherry, soy sauce, honey, vinegar, ginger, and garlic. Pour mixture over ribs. Cover and braise for 3 to 4 hours. This can also be done in a slow cooker - just cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
Cook rice according to package directions.
While still hot, stir in cilantro, scallions, jalapenos, and lime zest. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve half of the rice with the ribs (and carrots and leeks) and reserve extra rice for another meal.

Tips:

Use a good quality pork shoulder for the best flavor. Pork shoulder is a flavorful and affordable cut of meat that is perfect for slow cooking.
Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder before cooking. This will help to reduce the amount of grease in the finished dish.
Brown the pork shoulder in a hot skillet before slow cooking. This will help to develop a nice crust on the meat and add flavor.
Use a slow cooker liner to make cleanup easier. A slow cooker liner is a disposable bag that fits inside the slow cooker and prevents food from sticking to the pot.
Add the honey, soy sauce, lime juice, ginger, garlic, and water to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
Cook the pork shoulder on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours. The pork shoulder is done when it is fall-apart tender.
Serve the pork shoulder with rice, noodles, or vegetables. You can also spoon the cooking liquid over the pork shoulder before serving.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker honey soy braised pork with lime and ginger is an easy and delicious recipe that is perfect for a busy weeknight meal. The pork shoulder is fall-apart tender and flavorful, and the honey soy glaze is the perfect complement. Serve this dish with rice, noodles, or vegetables for a complete meal.
