PRIZE-WINNING POLYNESIAN PORK OVER RICE
I recently inherited my Great Aunt's recipe collection. This is a recipe from her recipe box that she clipped out of the Chicago Tribune. It had won the "$5 Favorite Recipe prize." From the splatters on the clipping, I imagine my Aunt enjoyed this one. These days,I might try browning the meat in a little olive oil instead of the bacon drippings. Despite the name, I doubt this is a traditional Polynesian dish, but rather is one inspired by Polynesian cuisine.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut pork chops into bite-size pieces; toss with 2 teaspoons teriyaki mix. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add pork to hot oil; cook 3 to 4 minutes or until browned on all sides. Add stir-fry vegetables; toss to combine. Set aside. In a 2 1/2-quart casserole dish, combine uncooked rice, crushed pineapple with juices, broth, pineapple juice and remaining 2 teaspoons teriyaki mix; stir until well mixed. Spoon pork, vegetables and any cooking juices over rice mixture. Cover. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is almost absorbed. Garnish with cashews, if desired
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. This is especially important for the pork, which should be of high quality and free of any blemishes.
- Marinate the pork overnight: This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger works well.
- Cook the pork over medium-low heat: This will help to prevent the meat from becoming dry or tough. You should cook the pork until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a flavorful rice: The rice is an important part of this dish, so make sure to use a type of rice that has a lot of flavor. Basmati rice or jasmine rice are both good choices.
- Top the pork and rice with your favorite toppings: There are many different toppings that you can use to add flavor and texture to this dish. Some popular choices include green onions, cilantro, pineapple, and teriyaki sauce.
Conclusion:
Polynesian pork over rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the rice is fluffy and moist. The combination of the two, along with the toppings, makes for a truly satisfying meal. If you are looking for a new and exciting dish to try, I highly recommend giving this one a try.
