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.

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.

SLOW COOKER HONEY-SOY BRAISED PORK WITH LIME AND GINGER



Slow Cooker Honey-Soy Braised Pork With Lime and Ginger image

Here to save your weeknight life: a slow-cooker main that's truly "set-it-and-forget-it," with results that taste like they required significantly more effort. This rich and flavorful pork takes about 5 minutes to throw together in the morning. Before dinner, just simmer the sauce - a sweet-salty mix of soy and honey - until it's syrupy, shred the meat, add a flurry of fresh herbs and you're done. The meat is a wonderfully simple anchor, and you can build a meal around it: Add lettuce cups and kimchi or serve it over rice, whole grains or even tortillas.

Time 8h20m

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 in half
8 large garlic cloves, 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:

  • Place the pork in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Scatter the garlic, ginger, red-pepper flakes and lime zest over the top. In a liquid 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 and cook on low until the pork is very tender and shreds easily with a fork, 8 to 9 hours; it will hold well on warm. (If you are home and able to flip the pork once during cooking, that will help the flavors distribute evenly on the meat and make the color uniform. If not, it will be fine.)
  • Using tongs, transfer the pork from the slow cooker to a serving platter or large, shallow serving bowl. Using a ladle, skim excess fat off the surface of the cooking liquid, if desired. Carefully pour the sauce into a large pot. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat and let it simmer until reduced and slightly syrupy, 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, 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, tossing to evenly 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.

Tips:

  • To save time, use a pre-made soy sauce-based marinade.
  • If you don't have a slow cooker, you can braise the pork in a Dutch oven over low heat for 2-3 hours.
  • Serve the pork with jasmine rice, roasted vegetables, or your favorite side dish.
  • You can add other vegetables to the slow cooker along with the pork, such as carrots, potatoes, or onions.
  • If you're using a leaner cut of pork, you may want to add a little bit of oil to the slow cooker to prevent the meat from drying out.
  • Be sure to skim the fat off the top of the braising liquid before serving.
  • Garnish the pork with fresh lime wedges and cilantro before serving.

Conclusion:

Honey soy braised pork is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and tangy. Serve it with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
