ROAST PORK AND PEPPER SANDWICHES



Roast Pork and Pepper Sandwiches image

This roast pork sandwich is a sly take on char siu bao, a food close to Rich Torrisi's heart. His father worked as a court officer in the Manhattan Criminal Court building in Chinatown, and when he'd take his son to work, he'd often securely sequester the boy in an empty jury room with a box of Chinese roast pork and custard buns for companionship.

Categories     lunch, project, main course

Time 3h

Yield 6 to 8 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 18

Pork shoulder, 1 1/2 to 2 pounds, in one piece
Salt
black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup peeled garlic
Neutral or olive oil, as needed
1 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
1 cinnamon stick
1 whole star anise
1 tablespoon Sichuan peppercorns
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 drops red food coloring, optional
Maldon salt
1 cup chopped roast red peppers
1 bunch broccoli rabe, sautéed and chopped
8 rolls

Steps:

  • Season pork generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat for a minute, then add pork. Lightly brown on all sides, about 15 minutes. Remove and cool.
  • Enshroud in three layers of plastic wrap, creating a waterproof straitjacket.
  • Put a trivet in a roomy pot and place pork on top. Cover with water and place a weight - like a small plate - on top to submerge it. Turn heat to low and bring water to between 170 and 180 degrees - well below a simmer. If a thermometer shows the water is hotter, add ice cubes or cold water. Poach 2 hours.
  • While pork is cooking, put garlic in a small pot and cover with oil. Place over low heat and cook until soft but not colored, about one hour.
  • Mix vinegar, sugar, chili, cinnamon, star anise and Sichuan peppercorns in a pot. Bring to boil over high heat. Boil 10 minutes, strain and discard spices.
  • Remove garlic from oil, and purée it with the vinegar mixture in a blender until silky and loose. Add salt and coloring, if using, and blend again. Taste and add more salt, if needed, and coloring if the sauce is not stop-sign red. (This can be kept for up to 3 or 4 days in the refrigerator.)
  • Stick an instant-read thermometer in the center of the pork through the plastic. It should read 150 to 155 degrees. (If not, wrap with another layer of plastic and return to the pot.) Plunge the wrapped pork into an ice bath until chilled. (Once cold, the pork can be stored in the refrigerator overnight.)
  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Unwrap pork, put it on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes. Remove, and generously coat the pork with the sauce. Return to oven and cook until glaze is dark and sticky sweet, 7 to 9 minutes.
  • Thinly slice pork against the grain. Sprinkle each slice with Maldon salt. Put about 1/4 pound of pork, a tablespoon or more each of roast peppers and broccoli rabe into the rolls.

CHINESE MUSHROOM PORK FRIED RICE



Chinese Mushroom Pork Fried Rice image

I make this often, it is a favorite at my house! Make certain that your rice is cold before using in this recipe, so don't throw out that leftover rice from your Chinese food take-out, or prepare your rice a day ahead and refrigerate. The chili flakes are optional, add in if you like some heat! You can really make this rice using whatever cooked meat you have on hand. In place of the mushrooms you can use cooked fresh or frozen peas or use both! Cooking and prep time does not include cooking the rice.

Tips:

  • To ensure the tenderness of the pork, consider using a meat mallet to tenderize it before cooking. This technique helps break down the muscle fibers, resulting in a more enjoyable texture.
  • For an extra burst of flavor, marinate the pork in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, garlic, and ginger for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat, enhancing its overall taste.
  • When stir-frying the pork and peppers, maintain high heat throughout the process. This sears the meat, locking in its juices and creating a delicious caramelized exterior.
  • To achieve a vibrant color and crisp texture in the peppers, add them to the wok or pan towards the end of the cooking process. Overcooking can result in limp and discolored peppers.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of chili peppers or sauce used in the recipe based on your personal spice preference. Chinese pork and peppers can range from mildly spicy to very spicy, so tailor it to your liking.

Conclusion:

Chinese pork and peppers is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or as part of a larger meal. Its combination of tender pork, flavorful peppers, and aromatic sauce makes it a popular choice among Chinese cuisine enthusiasts. Whether you're a seasoned home cook or just starting your culinary journey, this dish is sure to impress with its bold flavors and vibrant colors. So gather your ingredients, heat up your wok or pan, and embark on a culinary adventure that will transport your taste buds straight to the heart of China.
