Braised Pork With Bok Choy Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Season the trotters with salt and pepper, place in a roasting pan and roast until the edges are slightly crispy, about 1 hour.
• Add the roasted trotters, wine, mushrooms, onion, turnip, garlic, lemongrass, kaffir leaves, ginger, star anise and 2 gallons of cold water to a stock pot. Bring to a decent simmer and cook on medium-low heat, skimming occasionally, until reduced by a third, about 2 hours. Strain the stock through a fine mesh strainer, discard the solids and stir in the sweet soy. You will want to drink this straight. Do not do this. Fight the urge. You just made pretty awesome pork stock.
• Preheat the oven again to 350 degrees F. Heat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.
• Season the pork cheeks with salt and pepper and sear until they begin to get color and crust, about 4 minutes per side.
• Place the cheeks in a single layer in a large oven-safe pan or a casserole dish. Cover the cheeks about 3/4 of the way with the pork stock and cover with foil. Cook in the oven until the meat just pulls apart with a fork, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Cooking time will differ depending on the size of the cheeks, so check them at the 1 1/2-hour mark. Reserve about a cup of the braising liquid. You just braised pork cheeks! Excellent work. We are close to the eating part.
• Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add a splash of canola oil and the carrots and saute until they begin to crisp on the outside, about 5 minutes. Add the bok choy and cook just until it wilts, about 4 minutes. Add the cheeks and a splash of the braising liquid, then gently heat through until the cheeks are hot to the touch. Add the cabbage.
• Serve the pork cheeks and vegetables over jasmine rice and garnish with cilantro and scallions. Eat the great food you just made. Share it with a friend, or don't. Well done.

Steps:

• In a large zip-top bag, combine soy sauce, ginger, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon oil. Add pork and shake to coat. Refrigerate 1 hour (or overnight).
• Heat broiler, with rack 8 inches from heat. Place pork on a rimmed baking sheet and season with salt. Broil until browned, 8 minutes. Tent with foil and let rest 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat remaining tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add garlic and red-pepper flakes; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add bok choy; saute until crisp-tender, 4 minutes. Season with salt and serve with pork.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the ginger and rice vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Trim the bok choy and cut into 3- to 4-inch pieces, if large, or cut down the middle lengthwise, if using baby bok choy. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the bok choy to the pan, cut-side down, if using baby bok choy, and sear on one side until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add additional oil, if necessary. Flip to cook on the other side until just tender, about 1 minute. Transfer bok choy to the ginger marinade and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Rub both sides of the pork chops with the brown sugar and season generously with salt. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet over medium heat. Arrange chops and orange halves in the skillet, cut-side down. Sear one side of the pork (without moving it) until deep brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip the pork but leave the orange undisturbed. Cook on medium-low until the pork is browned on both sides and the orange halves are charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Move the orange to a serving platter and the pork to a plate.
• Add the shallots and garlic to skillet and cook until softened and starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Add all the pork chops and any accumulated juices back to the pan, overlapping if necessary. Add the orange juice and 1/4 cup water. Bring the liquid to a simmer, swirling the pan to release any bits stuck to the bottom. Cover and cook for 3 minutes, then uncover and cook until the pork is cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the cooked chops to a board and allow the sauce to continue cooking until reduced and sticky, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Transfer the bok choy to the serving platter. Slice the pork and transfer to the platter along with any accumulated juices from the meat. Spoon the pan sauce and squeeze the caramelized orange halves over the top.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine cornstarch and sugar. Stir in white wine and soy sauce until smooth; set aside.
• In a large nonstick skillet or wok, stir fry pork in canola oil until lightly browned. Add carrots, garlic and ginger; stir-fry for 2 minutes.
• Add bok choy to skillet and stir-fry until bok choy is wilted.
• Stir soy sauce mixture and add to skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 2 minutes or until sauce is thickened.
• Serve with rice or noodles.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking. Add bok choy and cook, turning once, until just golden, about 2 minutes. Add stock and soy sauce. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until bok choy is tender, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer to a serving platter, reserving liquid in the skillet.
• Cook liquid over medium-high heat until it is reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour over bok choy and serve.
