Best Stir Crazy Pork And Papaya Recipes

POK POK - KHAO MAN SOM TAM

Steps:

• Heat the Muu Waan Sweet Pork in microwave for 1 minute 15 seconds in a shallow microwavable dish. Put a scoop of rice on a medium oval plate. Put the cabbage on one end of the oval and put the Papaya Pok Pok salad next to or on top of the cabbage. Put Muu Waan Sweet Pork on top of the rice in a strip and garnish with shallots and cilantro. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
• Clean the excess fat and gristle from the pork butt and cut it into 1-inch thick pieces. Cut along the grain of meat so that long strands will form when the meat is shredded. Marinate the pork pieces in sweet soy. Put the pork in a rondeau, or another round straight-walled pan. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil over medium heat. Lower the heat, cover the pot and cook slowly until pork is almost tender. Turn the heat to high and reduce the liquid until relatively dry, leaving more of a glaze than a liquid. Roughly shred the pork with a stiff whisk and spatula. Do not wait until pork is already falling apart to reduce the liquid. This will produce a dry and tough product. If the pork is accidentally cooked all the way before reducing the liquid, remove the meat from liquid and reduce separately, then return the meat to the pot.
• Adjust water amount according to the newness of the rice (if the rice is newer then less water will be required). In a rice cooker, combine the water, coconut milk or coconut cream, sugar and salt and mix until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Add the drained rice, and mix thoroughly, making sure the rice is level in the cooker. Cook the rice according to the cooker instructions.
• Fresh Coconut Milk: Thaw grated coconut. Remove the coconut from the bags, and add to a large bowl. Add 3 cups water per 16-ounce bag of grated coconut. Allow to sit until the water is absorbed, about 1/2 hour. Press the coconut twice through a fine strainer, using the milk from the first pressing to moisten the coconut again, then strain for the last time.
• Smash the chiles, garlic and palm sugar in a mortar and pestle until the garlic is well ground; do this firmly but not violently. Add the shrimp, mash lightly and then add the long beans. Smash them gently, just to break them up. Add the dressing and the papaya. Combine the ingredients thoroughly without mashing the papaya. Add the tomatoes and crush to release their juices. Stir in the peanuts and combine well. The taste should be sour, salty, sweet and spicy in good balance. The texture should be crunchy and slightly pink in color. Make no more than two servings at a time!

PAPAYA STEW RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the sofrito: Add the cilantro, green bell pepper, red onion, garlic, and olive oil to a food processor. Process until the mixture is fully combined, chunky, and uniform in color.
• Make the stobá: In a large bowl, pour the sofrito over the spare ribs, tossing to coat well. Marinate at room temperature for at least 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease with nonstick spray.
• Place the shredded plantain in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Using the back of a spoon, spread the plantain evenly into a thin round, 6-8 inches wide.
• Bake the plantain round for 15 minutes. Remove the plantain round from the oven. Let cool slightly, then lift the plantain on the parchment paper and invert into a medium bowl. Place another medium bowl inside to set the shape of the plantain bowl. Let cool completely.
• In a medium saucepan, add the water and cured pork tail and simmer for 15-20 minutes to draw the salt out of the pork tail. Remove the pot from the heat and set aside.
• Melt the coconut oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until lightly browned and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
• Add the pork tail and cooking water, marinated spare ribs, and the salt. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 90 minutes until the meat is tender, adding more water if it evaporates too quickly.
• Add the green papaya, ripe papaya, mango, sweet potato, nutmeg, turmeric and coconut water to the stew. Cover and cook for another 45 minutes, until the meat is tender and the fruit is cooked through.
• While the stew cooks, spread the reserved papaya seeds on a baking sheet. Transfer to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, until lightly toasted and crisp. Set aside to cool.
• Place the plantain bowl inside a coconut shell or medium bowl. Ladle the stew into the plantain bowl. Garnish with the toasted papaya seeds and shredded coconut.
• Enjoy!
