SWEET SOY PORK W STAR ANISE KOREAN-STYLE



Sweet Soy Pork W Star Anise Korean-Style image

This recipe was inspired from a great cookbook called Heavenly Fragrance, a collection of aromatic recipes focusing on Southeast Asian recipes. This particular dish is a variation of a Malaysian dish but I substituted some of the main ingredients for Korean ones. But little did I know that I was basically making kalbi jjim (Korean braised short ribs) but using pork instead of beef. The other difference (actually two) is that I used star anise (grounded with a mortar and pestle) for the first time and was blown away at the strength of the spice. Though it's a great aromatic ingredient, I highly recommend using it sparingly in dishes. Also, I marinated the pork in a liter of Pepsi for several hours. This may be surprising to some, but the carbonation and the sweetness do a good job at tenderizing and taking any remaining odors out of the pork. Overall, the dish turned out pretty good and I learned a good lesson in cooking today: never underestimate ingredients you have never worked with and use them sparingly the first time. www.oliviajasonkim.com

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 plates, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 lbs pork shoulder, sliced into chunks
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup vinegar
1 star anise, grounded
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 cups water
2 large potatoes, cut up into large chunks
3 medium carrots, cut into 2-inch length
1/2 cup mushroom, halved
1 lemongrass, stalk
10 pine nuts (for garnishing)
sliced green onion (for garnish)
1 liter Pepsi (for marination)

Steps:

  • Directions:.
  • In a large pot over high heat, place the pork chunks with a few bay leaves. Let boil for about 10 minutes and drain under running cold water.
  • With a skewer, poke the chunks of meat to tenderize the inside of the meat before marinating.
  • Combine the pork with the l liter of Pepsi in a large bowl. Cover and let marinate for at least an hour (the longer the better).
  • Rinse the pork and place in a large pot. Add the water with sauce ingredients and lemongrass. Cook on medium heat for about 20~25 minutes while occasionally coating the meat with sauce.
  • Add in potatoes, mushrooms, and carrots, cooking for another 15 minutes on low heat. Discard lemongrass stalks.
  • Near the end when most of the broth should have thickened or evaporated, add some sesame oil.
  • Serve on a platter as main course. If you have extra sauce leftover (that hasn't evaporated) I recommend mixing and eating with rice.
  • Garnish with pine nuts or green onion.

PRESSURE COOKER KOREAN SOY-GLAZED PORK BELLY



Pressure Cooker Korean Soy-Glazed Pork Belly image

This hearty braise requires minimal ingredients and makes use of a pressure cooker to reduce hours of work into just 45 minutes of hands-off cooking. The pork belly soaks up the Korean-inspired marinade of soy sauce, garlic, ginger and scallions, and a good dose of black pepper balances the sweet-salty flavors. To finish, the cooking liquid is reduced into a silky sauce that glazes the meat. Serve the tender pork in crisp fresh lettuce cups to balance the richness of the meat. Leftovers can be chopped and reheated in tomato sauce for a quick and tasty Bolognese sauce.

Time 4h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 scallions, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
1/4 cup turbinado sugar (or 3 tablespoons granulated sugar)
2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
3 dried shiitake mushrooms
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 1/2 pounds skin-on pork belly, sliced lengthwise 1-inch-thick then cut into 4-inch pieces
Steamed rice, lettuce cups, kimchi and gochujang, for serving

Steps:

  • In a pressure cooker, combine soy sauce, scallions, sugar, garlic, ginger, mushrooms and 1 teaspoon black pepper, and mix well. Lightly season pork belly with salt and pepper, and add to cooker. Toss pork in the sauce, massaging the sauce into the meat. Arrange pork in an even layer on top of the sauce. Lock pressure cooker lid in place and set steam vent to sealing position. Select high pressure and cook for 30 minutes. Let pressure release naturally.
  • Transfer pork and mushrooms to a large plate. Carefully pour liquid into a fat separator or large bowl and degrease. Return liquid to the pressure cooker. Using the sauté function, simmer until reduced to about 1/2 cup, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice the mushrooms. Once the liquid is reduced, add the pork and mushrooms to the cooker and simmer, stirring, until warmed through and evenly coated in the sauce, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and spoon the sauce on top.
  • Serve with steamed rice, lettuce cups, kimchi and gochujang. Cut pork into bite-size pieces, wrap and enjoy.
