HAWAIIAN-STYLE BRAISED PORK WITH STIR-FRIED CABBAGE



Hawaiian-Style Braised Pork With Stir-Fried Cabbage image

This is a recipe that I found online and can't wait to make it. Here's what the author said. "My wife, Jean, and I run a coffee farm on the Big Island of Hawaii," writes George Fike of Keauhou Mauka, Hawaii. "I really love to cook, so we entertain a lot, and I enjoy planning the dinners as much as I do making them. I tell people the best restaurant in town is our house! Since I do most of the cooking, recipes must either be relatively fast or look after themselves. My recipe for Hawaiian-style pork has both of those qualities. It's based on the traditional Hawaiian kalua pig, in which the meat is steamed in an underground oven. For this version, you don't have to dig a pit in your back yard, and once everything's in the pot - which involves chopping a few ingredients - it cooks slowly but doesn't require a lot of attention." Complete this main course with steamed rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder, also known as pork butt, is a great cut for this recipe. It's a fatty, flavorful cut of meat that will become tender and juicy when cooked slowly.
  • Brown the pork before braising: Browning the pork before braising helps to develop its flavor and color. Be sure to brown the pork in batches so that you don't overcrowd the pan and end up steaming the meat instead of browning it.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for cabbage, carrots, and onions, but you can also add other vegetables such as potatoes, celery, or bell peppers. Just be sure to cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Season the pork and vegetables well: Be generous with the salt and pepper when seasoning the pork and vegetables. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
  • Cook the pork and vegetables until tender: The pork and vegetables should be cooked until they are tender and fall-apart. This will take about 2-3 hours on low heat.

Conclusion:

This Hawaiian pork and cabbage recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork is tender and juicy, the vegetables are flavorful, and the sauce is rich and savory. Serve this dish with rice or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
