TEA-SMOKED PORK AND TENDER CABBAGE STIR-FRY



Tea-Smoked Pork and Tender Cabbage Stir-Fry image

The wok has many uses. Since Chinese homes don't have ovens, cooks learned to use the wok and its lid as an oven and a smoker. The Hunan Chinese especially took to this method; their cuisine is known for its inclusion of smoked meats such as duck and pork. The smoking mixture of sugar and tea leaves provides the smoky flavor, while the rice provides the fuel for the smoke. Once smoked, the pork is stir-fried with cabbage in a mild spicy sauce.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1/2 pound boneless pork butt
4 cups water
3 quarter-sized slices peeled ginger
2 green onions, trimmed
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup black or oolong tea leaves
1/4 cup uncooked rice
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3 star anise
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons minced ginger
2 teaspoons minced red or green jalapeno chile
1 1/2 to 2 cups sliced (1-inch) Napa cabbage
1/3 cup thinly sliced carrot
1/3 cup sliced bamboo shoots
1/4 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons chile garlic sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch, dissolved in 1 tablespoon water
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil

Steps:

  • Place the pork in a 2-quart saucepan, add the water, ginger, green onions, sugar, and salt, and bring to a boil. Adjust the heat so the liquid is simmering, cover the pot, and simmer until the pork is almost cooked through, about 8 minutes. Drain the pork and set aside.
  • Line the inside of a wok and the inside of its lid with aluminum foil. Make the smoking mixture: Stir the tea leaves, rice, sugar, and star anise together in the lined wok, then spread evenly over the bottom. Set a round rack over the smoking mixture, about 3 inches above the mixture, and set the pork on the center of the rack.
  • Place the wok, uncovered, over high heat. When the rice mixture begins to smoke, cover the wok, reduce the heat to medium, and smoke until the pork turns a rich, deep brown, about 25 minutes. Turn off the heat and let stand for 5 minutes before removing the lid.
  • Let the pork cool briefly, then cut into1/8-inch-thick slices. (Discard the smoking mixture and foil.) Clean the wok and heat it over high heat until hot. Add the oil and swirl to coat the sides. Add the garlic, ginger and chile and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the pork, cabbage, carrot, and bamboo shoots and stir-fry until the cabbage is wilted, about 1 minute.
  • Add the chicken stock, soy sauce and chile garlic sauce and bring to a boil. Adjust the heat so the sauce is simmering, cover the wok, and simmer until the carrot is tender, about 3 minutes.
  • Pour in the dissolved cornstarch and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 30 seconds. Stir in the sesame oil, scoop onto a warm serving platter and serve hot.

ASIAN PORK AND CABBAGE (LOW CARB)



Asian Pork and Cabbage (Low Carb) image

You will not believe how good this tastes after you find out how quick it is! The recipe is from 15-Minute Low-Carb Recipes by Dana Carpender. I used a Vietnamese chili garlic sauce instead of anything called "paste" because my grocery quit carrying the one with the garlic included. I wouldn't go so far as to call the onion "optional," but I left it out because I had none left, so if you are on a strict carb limit or hate onions, you will still love this without it. The book lists 6 g carbs & 1 g fiber (just in case the computer can't tabulate one of the ingredients).

  • Heat oil in a large skillet (or a wok if you're lucky enough to have one). Add the pork to the hot skillet and stir-fry 3 to 5 minutes. Add the cabbage and onion and stir fry until tender-crisp. Stir in the black bean sauce and chili garlic paste.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian     Chinese

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

12 ounces dry Chinese noodles
3 tablespoons soy sauce
¾ cup sweet chili sauce
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
3 tablespoons sesame oil
½ cup soy sauce
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 (1 pound) pork loin, cut into 2-inch strips

⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
3 cups chopped napa cabbage
¾ cup sliced celery
1 cup sliced carrots
3 red bell peppers, chopped
2 teaspoons cornstarch
¼ cup cold water

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the Chinese noodles, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • Whisk together the 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 3/4 cup sweet chili sauce, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, the ground ginger, and the sesame oil in a large bowl; add the drained Chinese noodles and toss to coat; set aside

  • Heat the cooking oil in a wok or a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork, onions, and red pepper flakes to the oil; cook until the pork is browned completely. Stir in 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce, the napa cabbage, celery, carrots, and bell peppers; cook and stir until vegetables are completely heated, about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • For the best stir-fry, use fresh, crisp vegetables. Avoid using vegetables that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Use a wok or a large skillet that is big enough to hold all of the ingredients without overcrowding them.
  • Heat the wok or skillet over high heat until it is very hot. This will help to sear the vegetables and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Add the vegetables to the wok or skillet in batches, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent them from sticking together and becoming overcooked.
  • Cook the vegetables until they are tender-crisp. This will usually take only a few minutes.
  • Add the sauce to the wok or skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional minute or two, or until the sauce is heated through.
  • Serve the stir-fry immediately over rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

Asian pork and cabbage stir-fry is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. It is a great way to use up leftover pork and vegetables, and it is also a healthy and affordable option. With a few simple tips, you can make a stir-fry that is restaurant-quality.
