Thai Ginger Pork Appetizer Or Meal Recipes

GINGER GROUND PORK

Steps:

• Heat oil in wok.
• Add first 3 ingredients till fragrant.
• Add ground pork; cook till no pink.
• Add yellow onion cook about 2 minutes.
• Add green onions; cook another 2 minutes.
• Add cilantro and fish sauce; cook 1 more minute.
• When cooking last 3 ingredients, use your judgment on how you like the firmness of them--you might want to cook more or less. I like mine a little firmer.
• Serve with jasmine rice.

THAI QUIVERING TENDERLOINS

Steps:

• Whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce, hot pepper sauce, cilantro, garlic, brown sugar, peanut butter, and ginger root in a bowl. Lie the tenderloins in a glass baking dish; pour the orange juice mixture over the tenderloins. Marinate in refrigerator at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours or overnight.
• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Transfer the tenderloins to the foil-lined baking sheet, reserving the marinade.
• Cook until the pork is no longer pink in the center, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• While the pork cooks, combine the reserve marinade and chicken stock in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Allow to boil 2 minutes; reduce heat to low and simmer 5 to 7 minutes. Cut the tenderloins into 1/4-inch slices; spoon the sauce over the sliced pork to serve.

THAI PORK AND NOODLES

Steps:

• Place the pork in the freezer about 10 minutes to make it easier to slice. Soak the noodles in very hot water until just tender, about 10 minutes; drain. Snip the noodles with scissors into shorter lengths. Cut the frozen pork crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide strips.
• Puree the cilantro, lime zest and juice, ginger, garlic, jalapenos, shallots, fish sauce, brown sugar and 1 tablespoon water in a food processor until smooth, scraping down the processor as needed.
• Heat 3 tablespoons peanut oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add half the cilantro mixture and stir-fry 1 minute. Add the pork and stir-fry until no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the pork with a slotted spoon to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon peanut oil to the skillet; add the green beans and stir-fry until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the noodles, pork and 2 tablespoons of the remaining cilantro mixture. Cook, tossing with tongs, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining cilantro mixture to taste.

THAI PORK AND VEGETABLE BROTH

Steps:

• Heat a large pan, then add the oil. Add the garlic and scallions and cook over medium heat, stirring for 3 minutes, until slightly softened. Add the bell pepper and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring.
• In a bowl, mix the cornstarch with enough of the stock to make a smooth paste and stir it into the pan. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining stock, the soy sauce, and rice wine, then add the pork, lemongrass, chile and ginger. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 25 minutes.
• Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Remove from the heat, drain, then add to the soup along with the water chestnuts. Cook the soup for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from the heat. Ladle into warmed bowls, and serve immediately.

THAI GINGER PAPRIKA PORK STEAKS

Steps:

• Sprinkle pork steaks with lime juice on both sides.
• Mix paprika, ginger, lime zest, salt & pepper and rub into both sides of pork steak. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours.
• Grill pork steaks on medium high heat until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F. or until barely pink in the middle.

THAI-STYLE GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• For the sauce: Whisk the granulated sugar, vinegar, lime juice, fish sauce, garlic, and red pepper flakes together in a bowl; set aside for serving.
• For the pork: Combine the Melt®, fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and pepper in a bowl. Combine the marinade and pork in a large zipper-lock bag. Seal the bag tightly, toss to coat the pork, and let the pork marinate in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour.
• Weave 2 pieces of pork onto each skewer.
• For a Charcoal grill: Open the bottom grill vents completely. Light a large chimney starter filled with charcoal briquettes (100 briquettes; 6 quarts). When the coals are hot, pour them in an even layer over the grill. Set the cooking grate in place, cover, and heat the grill until hot, about 5 minutes.
• For a gas grill: Turn all the burners to high, cover, and heat the grill until hot, about 15 minutes. (Adjust the burners as needed to maintain a hot fire.)
• Clean and oil the cooking grate. Place skewers on the grill and cook until the meat is cooked through and lightly charred around the edges, 7 to 10 minutes, flipping the skewers halfway through.
• Transfer the skewers to a platter and let rest for 5 minutes. Remove the meat from the skewers, sprinkle the cilantro leaves over the top, and serve, passing the sauce separately.
