MANDARIN PORK
I often serve this pork with fried rice and Chinese-style vegetables. It also makes a great appetizer by itself. Folks have fun dipping the nuggets into the two homemade sauces.

GRILLED GARLICKY FIVE-SPICE PORK STEAKS
The menu at Vietnamese restaurants in the United States often includes an inexpensive, homey rice plate with grilled pork chops flavored with Chinese five-spice powder, garlic, and onion. Unfortunately, I have often found the dish disappointing, with the rib chops dry and thin. Even with a knife and fork, the meat-typically broiled, rather than the advertised grilled-is hard to cut. After a number of dissatisfying rice plates, I decided to make the pork at home. To avoid dry meat, I opted for pork shoulder steaks. The slightly fatty, flavorful steaks turned out to be perfect for absorbing the bold marinade and remained moist after grilling. Sliced up before serving, the meat is easily managed with chopsticks, too, and I include a dipping sauce for extra flavor. Serve the pork with rice and a salad or a stir-fried or sautéed vegetable for a light meal. Add a soup such as Opo Squash Soup (page 60) and you have a traditional Vietnamese menu. Use any left overs for baguette sandwiches (page 34) or Mixed Rice (page 245).

Steps:
- If the pork steaks are large, cut them into pieces about the size of your hand. To make the marinade, in a baking dish or shallow bowl large enough to accommodate the steaks, combine the garlic, shallot, five-spice powder, oil, fish sauce, salt, sugar, and pepper and mix well. Add the steaks and use your fingers to coat all the surfaces well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours for the best flavor.
- Remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Prepare a medium charcoal fire (you can hold your hand over the rack for only 4 to 5 seconds) or preheat a gas grill to medium.
- Grill the steaks, turning once, for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until browned and a little charred on the edges.
- Transfer the steaks to a plate, cover with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Provide each diner with an individual dish for the dipping sauce.

GRILLED VOLCANO PORK
This is one of the most delicious pork dishes I've ever eaten-just an absolute eruption of flavor! But it's not why we're calling this volcano pork. That's actually because the marinade I'm using here is loosely based on one from a restaurant named after a famous Indonesian volcano. Serve this over steamed or coconut rice.

- Pour marinade into the bag of pork and massage thoroughly and toss until it's evenly coated. Seal the bag, squeezing out excess air as you do.
- Transfer to the refrigerate and marinate overnight, or up to 24 hours.
- Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat. Remove pork from bag, wiping off most of the excess marinade.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh pork steaks. If you can't find pork steaks, you can use pork chops or pork shoulder.
- To make the marinade, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. You can also add a teaspoon of Chinese five-spice powder for extra flavor.
- Marinate the pork steaks for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- When you're ready to cook the pork steaks, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the steaks for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
- Serve the grilled pork steaks with rice, noodles, or vegetables. You can also add a dipping sauce, such as soy sauce or hoisin sauce.
Conclusion:
Mandarin grilled pork steaks are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The marinade infuses the pork with flavor, and the grilling process creates a slightly charred exterior and a juicy interior. Serve the pork steaks with your favorite sides, and enjoy!
