SWEET CHILLI PORK



Sweet Chilli Pork image

This is from the Easy Thai Cooking recipe book. I always use this recipe to use up leftover roast pork. It has become quite a favourite in our house and is simple to make. I also substitute fresh chilli with bottled chilli to save time and a special shopping trip. Without the coriander it is not quite the same. I also double the sauce ingredients to add more flavour to the rice.

Sticky Sweet Chilli Pork and Basil Rice image

Just love sticky sweet chilli recipes and well have a fair bit of pork in the freezer, so hoping to try this soon, from recipe+ NOTES - microwave rice is precooked and just needs to be reheated. Replace pork with chicken or firm tofu.

Categories     Pork

Time 32m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 teaspoons peanut oil
400 g pork mince
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup fish sauce
4 kaffir lime leaves, shredded
1 cup coriander leaves
1/2 cup coarsley chopped roasted unsalted peanuts
2 tablespoons fried shallots, plus extra to serve
1 long red chili, thinly sliced
8 iceberg lettuce leaves
lime wedge, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a wok or large frying pan on high. Stir-fry pork and garlic for 4-5 minutes, breaking up lumps with the back of a spoon, until browned.
  • Add sugar, fish sauce and leaves. Simmer for 3-4 minutes or until thickened slightly.
  • Add coriander, peanuts, shallots and chilli. Stir-fry for a further 3-4 minutes.
  • Spoon into lettuce cups. Sprinkle with extra fried shallots. Serve with lime wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder or pork loin are both good choices for this dish. Pork shoulder is a more affordable cut and has more fat, which will make the pork more tender and flavorful. Pork loin is a leaner cut and will cook more quickly.
  • Tenderize the pork: You can tenderize the pork by marinating it in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and spices for at least 30 minutes. This will help to break down the tough fibers in the meat and make it more tender.
  • Use a hot skillet: When you cook the pork, make sure the skillet is hot before you add the meat. This will help to sear the meat and prevent it from sticking.
  • Cook the pork in batches: If you are cooking a lot of pork, cook it in batches so that the meat does not overcrowd the skillet. This will help to ensure that the pork cooks evenly.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick: The sauce for this dish should be thick and flavorful. If the sauce is too thin, it will not coat the pork properly.

Conclusion:

Sweet chili pork is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of sweet and spicy flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve the pork with rice or noodles and a side of vegetables for a complete meal.
