Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon white pepper
2 (1 pound) pork tenderloins, silver skins removed
1 ¾ cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon avocado oil
½ cup no-sugar-added apricot preserves
2 teaspoons sambal oelek, or to taste
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Turn on an 8-quart multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®), select Saute function, and allow to preheat.
  • Combine paprika, salt, ground ginger, and white pepper in a small bowl. Rub tenderloins on all sides with the mixture.
  • Combine chicken broth, soy sauce, and rice vinegar in a separate bowl; you should have 2 cups, the recommended amount of cooking liquid in an 8-quart pot. Check your owner's manual for recommended liquid amount for other sizes and adjust accordingly.
  • Pour avocado oil into the Instant Pot® and heat until shimmering. Add tenderloins to brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove tenderloins to a plate, add liquid mixture to the pot, and scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pot, stirring all together. Turn off Saute function.
  • Place a rack or trivet into the Instant Pot® and place tenderloins on the rack. Close and lock the lid and set vent to Sealing. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 1 minute. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Let pork cook until internal temperature reaches 135 to 140 degrees F (57 to 60 degrees C). Place tenderloins on a cutting board and cover with foil to rest while you make the glaze. Internal temperature should rise to 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove about 3 tablespoons of cooking liquid and set aside.
  • Select Saute function and bring remaining cooking liquid in the pot to a boil. Allow to reduce to about 1 cup, 3 to 10 minutes, depending on how much liquid was used for the size of the pot. Add preserves, sambal oelek, grated ginger, garlic, and sesame oil; cook for about 2 minutes.
  • Create a slurry of the reserved 3 tablespoons cooking liquid and cornstarch in a small bowl. Continue cooking on the Saute function and add the slurry, stirring constantly until the liquid comes to a boil and thickens slightly. Pour glaze carefully into a container.
  • Slice the pork, drizzle with glaze, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and garnish with cilantro. Serve warm with additional glaze for dipping, if desired.

SWEET AND TANGY APPLE PORK CHOPS



Sweet and Tangy Apple Pork Chops image

This is a recipe I created using the idea that pork and apples go splendidly together! The seasonings give the pork a sweet and slightly spicy taste. The apple cider adds to the sweetness, while bringing a unique tartness as it is absorbed into the meat. Serve with applesauce, if desired. Hope you enjoy!

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey mustard
1 teaspoon mustard powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 pound pork chops
2 tablespoons butter
¾ cup apple cider

Steps:

  • Mix brown sugar, honey mustard, mustard powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder together in a small bowl; rub onto pork chops and let sit on a plate for flavors to dissolve into pork chops, about 10 minutes.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add apple cider. Arrange coated pork chops in the skillet; cook until pork chops are browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Use a good quality pork chop. Look for chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have good marbling. This will help ensure that the chops are juicy and flavorful.
  • Brine the pork chops before cooking. Brining helps to tenderize the chops and add flavor. To brine the chops, simply place them in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar for at least 30 minutes.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the chops while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to the desired doneness. The internal temperature of the chops should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chops, making them even more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Sweet and tangy Asian pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. These chops are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a meal that your family and friends will love.
