• Remove from heat.
• Place hard-boiled eggs in hot marinade and let stand until able to handle.
• Remove pork and thinly slice into 1- to 2-ounce pieces.
• Cook yaki soba noodles and bok choy by submerging in boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds. Drain.
• Divide noodles among 4 bowls.
• Pour 1/2 cup of the warm cooked marinade/pork juices over noodles in each bowl.
• Top each serving with 5 to 6 slices cooked pork, 1 hard-boiled egg cut in half, 5 to 6 leaves bok choy, 1/4 cup shredded cabbage, 1/4 cup bean sprouts, 1 tablespoon green onions, 4 to 6 stalks cilantro, 1/4 tablespoon crushed peanuts and 1/4 tablespoon dried fried garlic.

RED PEPPER PORK CHOPS WITH SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet and cook, turning once, until lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Add the jelly and mustard and increase the heat to high. Cook, flipping the pork a few times, until well glazed and cooked through, 3 to 6 more minutes, depending on the thickness. Remove from the heat.
• Put the lima beans in a small microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons water; cover with plastic wrap and microwave until tender, about 5 minutes, then drain. Cut the kernels off the corn cobs and run the back of the knife down the cob to get all the corn milk.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in another large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lima beans, corn and corn milk, bell pepper and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the butter and 2 tablespoons water until the butter is melted. Remove from the heat and stir in 2 tablespoons chives.
• Divide the pork among plates and drizzle with the pan juices. Serve with the succotash; top with the remaining 1 tablespoon chives.

PORTUGUESE PORK WITH RED PEPPERS

Steps:

• With a large mortar and pestle, mash the garlic, coarse salt, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and peppercorns into a fine paste. Transfer to a large bowl.
• With a mallet, flatten the pork medallions to 1/4 inch thick. Place in the bowl with the garlic mixture, tossing to coat. Cover, and marinate 2 to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
• Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over high heat. Stir in the pork and remaining garlic mixture. Quickly brown pork about 1 minute on each side. Remove from heat, and set aside.
• Place red peppers into the skillet, and saute 2 to 5 minutes, until tender but firm. Pour white wine into the skillet, and scrape up the browned bits. Reduce heat to low, return pork to skillet, and continue cooking 10 to 15 minutes, to an internal temperature of 180 degrees F (80 degrees C).
• Slice 1 1/2 lemons into thin rounds. Transfer the pork and pepper mixture to a serving platter. Squeeze juice of remaining 1/2 lemon over the pork and peppers, and garnish with the lemon rounds.
