SOY AND GINGER MARINATED PORK CHOPS



Soy and Ginger Marinated Pork Chops image

I got this recipe out of Martha Stewart Living magazine, and have made it a number of times. The pork comes out so juicy and tender, no matter what kind of chops I use. To be truthful, I only use the marinade, and I cook the chops on the BBQ. I normally use boneless loin chops, about 1" thick, and marinate them for about an hour. I use only half the sugar because I don't like a sweet meat, and it helps keep the chops from burning on the grill. We love this served with rice.

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.

Categories     dinner, weekday, meat, roasts, main course

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.

Pork Tenderloin with Soy, Ginger, and Lime image

This Asian-style marinade transforms a mild cut of pork into an exotic dish. Serve it with a mix of summer vegetables, such as Sauteed Snap Peas with Scallions and Radishes.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, such as safflower, plus more for grates
1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound), excess fat and silver skin removed

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, lime juice, oil, and ginger. Add pork to marinade, turning to coat. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes (or refrigerate, up to overnight).
  • Heat grill to medium-low; lightly oil grates. Lift tenderloin from marinade; discard marinade.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of soy sauces. Different soy sauces have different flavor profiles, so experiment to find one that you like. For a bolder flavor, use a dark soy sauce. For a lighter flavor, use a light soy sauce.
  • Add other ingredients to taste. You can add other ingredients to your marinade to create a unique flavor. Some popular additions include garlic, ginger, brown sugar, honey, and sesame oil.
  • Marinate the pork for at least 30 minutes. The longer you marinate the pork, the more flavor it will absorb. If you're short on time, you can marinate the pork for as little as 15 minutes, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
  • Cook the pork over medium heat. Cooking the pork over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out. If you cook the pork over high heat, it will brown quickly on the outside, but it will be undercooked on the inside.
  • Serve the pork with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for pork include rice, noodles, vegetables, and salad.

Conclusion:

Soy ginger marinade is a delicious and versatile marinade that can be used on pork, chicken, or fish. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a marinade that will add flavor and moisture to your next meal.
