RED COOKED PORK (HONG SHAO ROU): GRANDMA'S VERSION



Red Cooked Pork (Hong Shao Rou): Grandma's Version image

We've already posted a Red Cooked Pork (Hong Shao Rou) recipe made by our mom. Today, we come to you with our grandma's Hing Shao rou - red cooked pork.

Provided by Sarah

Categories     Pork

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 slabs pork belly ((cut into 1 ½ inch thick pieces; totaling about 1 ½ -2 pounds, or about 700-900g))
4-5 eggs
3 tablespoons sugar ((rock sugar is preferred))
½ cup shaoxing wine
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 cup water ((plus more, if needed))
1 package tofu puffs

Steps:

  • Start by cutting up your pork belly.
  • Then fill a pot with cold water and submerge your eggs. Put the pot on the stove and gently bring it to a boil. Once it's boiling, boil the eggs for 5 minutes. Take them out and put them into a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes before peeling.
  • After that's done, boil some more water in a large pot. Add the pork to the boiling water and blanch for about 3 minutes to get rid of excess fat and other impurities. Drain and rinse the meat.
  • Make sure your wok is clean and dry. Over medium low heat, add about 3 tablespoons of sugar to the dry wok (no oil) and toss the sugar around. You'll see it start to turn an amber color. Let it melt until it becomes almost a syrup.
  • Add the meat to the pan in 1 layer (still no oil necessary). Let the meat brown on all sides, about 10 minutes.
  • Then add ½ cup shaoxing wine, 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce, 2 tablespoons regular soy sauce and a cup of water. Stir.
  • Cover the wok and simmer over medium-low heat for 1 hour. Check it periodically to make sure that it's not too dry, adding a little water when necessary.
  • By then, your eggs should be cooled off. Peel them and score them lengthwise to let the sauce into the crevices of each hard-boiled egg. Add them to the pan and gently coat them in the sauce, being careful not to break them up. Simmer for another 15 minutes (add water if needed) and then take the eggs out of the pan. Taste the sauce at this point for salt. If it needs a little more, add a dash of soy sauce 1 teaspoon at a time, until it's right. We found that you didn't need much more beyond the initial 2 tablespoons, but use your own judgment.
  • Then add your tofu and stir in gently. Simmer for another 20 minutes.
  • Give everything another stir and add your eggs back in.

RED COOKED PORK



Red Cooked Pork image

This red cooked pork is a classic Asian dish named for the silky soy, ginger, garlic, and rice wine sauce that clings to tender braised pork.

Provided by Cynthia Chen McTernan

Categories     Mains

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds pork belly or pork shoulder or a combination
1/4 cup granulated sugar (plus more to taste)
2 tablespoons plus 2 to 3 cups water
3 to 4 scallions (cut on the diagonal into 2-inch (5-cm) lengths (about 1/4 cup sliced))
3 to 4 garlic cloves (smashed, or 1 tablespoon minced garlic)
1 inch piece ginger root (sliced into 6 to 8 circles)
3 whole star anise
1/3 cup Shaoxing rice wine (dry sherry, or sake)
3 tablespoons light (regular) soy sauce (plus more to taste)
3 to 4 teaspoons dark soy sauce* (see NOTE above)
Cooked rice (for serving)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the pork and gently boil for about 10 minutes, skimming off any scum as it forms on top of the water. Drain the pork and rinse to remove any remaining scum.
  • In a large wok or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, combine the sugar and 2 tablespoons water and stir until it dissolves. Tilt the wok or skillet to swirl the mixture, without stirring, just until it bubbles and begins to turn slightly darker in certain spots, 4 to 5 minutes. Be sure to watch it carefully so that the sugar doesn't burn as the sugar can turn from brown to black in seconds.
  • Add the pork and cook it with the caramelized sugar, stirring frequently, until the pork is browned and smells fragrant, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the scallions, garlic, ginger, and star anise and toss for 1 to 2 minutes to give the aromatics a quick cook. Add the rice wine, both soy sauces, and enough water to cover the pork, about 2 to 3 cups. Stir to combine and then cover and ever-so-gently simmer the pork over low heat until tender, at least 1 hour and, for maximal sublime tenderness, for up to 2 hours.
  • Once the pork is tender, take a look at the cooking liquid. If you prefer a thicker sauce, transfer the pork to a plate, return the heat to medium-high, and simmer, uncovered, until the sauce reduces to the desired consistency, 10 to 15 minutes. Be careful not to reduce the sauce too far as you're going to want generous servings of the sauce to go over the pork and rice. Taste the sauce and, if desired, adjust with more soy sauce or sugar. Spoon the pork and sauce over rice. (You can refrigerate or freeze leftovers and gently rewarm it.)

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield Yield: 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 to 12 loin pork chops, medium thick cut with bone
3 jalapeno peppers
2 tablespoons solid vegetable shortening or lard
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cloves garlic
2 (15-ounce) cans whole peeled tomatoes, 2 whole tomatoes reserved and 1/4 cup liquid reserved for Spanish Rice

Steps:

  • Wash pork chops and set on paper towels to dry. Roast whole jalapenos on the comal or in a cast iron skillet until all sides are toasted, approximately 10 minutes.
  • Wet a small tea towel, then wrap the jalapenos in the tea towel and let them rest for 20 minutes. (This will help to soften them for peeling)
  • While peppers rest, heat shortening in large cast iron skillet on medium-high.
  • Cut pork chops into small and medium pieces (the sections with bone will be bigger). Season both sides of chops with kosher salt, garlic powder and crushed black pepper. Cook pork chops in skillet for about 15 to 20 minutes, periodically adding water to steam. Pork is done when chops have caramelized and water has evaporated.
  • Take peppers out of tea towel and peel off skin. Cut off the ends of the peppers and place, one at a time in a food processor, and grind down with the salt and garlic. Add 1 tomato at a time (from the 2 cans of tomatoes), and grind all ingredients until sauce forms. Taste to determine if more salt is needed. Add the sauce to the pan with pork chops and simmer on low heat, uncovered, for about 10 to 15 minutes.
