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.

Categories     dinner, weekday, meat, roasts, main course

Time 4h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

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.

GRILLED LIME-GINGER MARINATED PORK LOIN



Grilled Lime-Ginger Marinated Pork Loin image

This is another one of my experimental yet successful creations. DH, the guinea pig, heartily approved. The pork loin turns out tender and juicy with many layers of flavor: smokiness from the grill, tanginess from the lime juice, nuttiness/saltiness from the soy sauce and a little heat from the ginger and red pepper flakes.

Provided by MarthaStewartWanabe

Categories     Pork

Time 40m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 lbs pork loin
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce, low-sodium
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons ginger, freshly grated
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Steps:

  • Preheat gas grill to medium heat.
  • Into a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag, place pork loin first and then remaining ingredients. Seal bag, gently squeezing as much air out as possible. With your hands, toss and squeeze the bag until the pork loin is well-coated. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerated for NO MORE THAN two hours. The lime juice tenderizes the meat so well that if marinated any longer, it could cause the meat to break down too much.
  • Grill pork loin for 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until juices run clear when thickest part is pricked with a meat fork.
  • Remove meat from grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
  • Slice on the bias and serve.
