Thai Pork Chops With Chunky Mango Salad Recipes

THAI PORK CHOPS WITH MANGO

Steps:

• Place pork chops in a flat baking dish. Sprinkle pepper and 5 cloves minced garlic over both sides and rub in.
• Combine remaining marinade ingredients (4 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, sherry, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar ) in a cup, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Pour over the chops and turn once to saturate.
• Cover dish with foil and set in the refrigerator to marinate 10 to 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 F.
• Cover tightly with foil and roast 60 to 90 minutes (they will be fully cooked after 1 hour, but 90 minutes will give more tender results).
• Turn the chops once in the middle of baking. If your baking dish is dry at this point, add 3 to 4 tablespoons water―use boiling water if it's a glass baking dish.
• While chops are roasting, slice up the mango into small cubes and set aside. For the sauce, place all ingredients ( rice vinegar , 1/3 cup brown sugar, 4 cloves garlic, chili or cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce) in a saucepan and bring to a boil. The vinegar will be pungent as it burns off.
• Reduce heat to medium and continue simmering sauce 10 minutes, or until it has reduced to 1/3 and has thickened slightly.
• Remove from heat and taste-test, looking for a tangy flavor that is also spicy and sweet. The sauce may taste strong (sharp) at this point, but it will be perfect when combined with the pork. If you'd like it spicier, add more chili. If it's too sour, add a little more sugar.
• Remove chops from oven. Turn once before removing to soak up the juices from the pan, then plate them up. Add some fresh mango to each portion, then drizzle over the sauce. Garnish with fresh coriander, and accompany with plenty of Thai jasmine-scented rice (it's also delicious with potatoes).

THAI PORK CHOPS WITH CHUNKY MANGO SALAD

Steps:

• To make the dressing, mix the sweet chilli sauce, lime juice, and 1 tbsp of the sesame oil in a bowl, stirring to combine.
• Take 1tbsp of the dressing mixture and put it in a separate bowl, then add the fish sauce, remaining sesame oil, half the coriander, the garlic, and the pork, and toss so the meat is well coated.
• Preheat the grill. In a serving bowl, mix the cucumber, mango, onion, and remaining coriander. Grill the pork for 2-3 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Dress and season the salad, and serve with the pork, along with some rice, if you like.

THAI MANGO SALAD

• Whisk in fish sauce, sugar and thai pepper until sugar is dissolved.
• Gradually whisk in peanut oil until blended.
• Add shallot, mix well.
• Set dressing aside.
• Peel mangoes, then cut away chunks of fruit from pits then, cut into thin strips (julienne, or use grater) and place in a large bowl.
• Seed sweet pepper, cut into very thin strips and add to mangoes.
• Add carrot, half of green onions, and cilantro. Toss gently until combined.

THAI PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat until hot.
• Add the pork chops and cook for 10 min, turning once or until it is no longer pink in the center.
• Remove to a plate and cover with foil while you prepare the sauce.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the jalapeno peppers and garlic to the skillet. If you need to add a little more oil to the skillet, do so now.
• Cook for 1-2 min or until softened, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in the fish sauce and sugar.
• Bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute.
• Pour the sauce over the pork chops and sprinkle with the chopped cilantro and peanuts.

SPICY THAI PORK TENDERLOIN SALAD

Steps:

• Pat pork dry with paper towel. In a bowl, combine shallot, cilantro, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, garlic, soy sauce, peanut or grapeseed oil, lime zest and juice, ginger, fish sauce, salt and chile. Pour a quarter of the mixture into a blender, add remaining sugar and purée until a smooth, loose paste forms. (Save the unblended mixture to use as dressing.)
• Place tenderloin in a large bowl and spread the paste all over pork. Marinate at room temperature for 2 hours, or cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours; turn the tenderloin occasionally.
• Light the grill or heat the broiler and arrange a rack at least 4 inches from the heat. Grill or broil pork, turning occasionally, until well browned and meat reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees, 4 to 10 minutes per side depending upon the heat of your broiler or grill. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't overcook. Let meat rest while you prepare the salad. (Or, cook the pork 1 or 2 hours ahead and serve it at room temperature.)
• In a large bowl, combine the salad ingredients, reserving the herbs, cashews and coconut. Whisk the dressing and use just enough to dress the salad, tossing to combine. Let sit for a few minutes for the flavors to meld, then right before serving, add herbs and toss again.
• To serve, slice the pork. Arrange salad on a platter and top with sliced pork. Scatter cashews and coconut on top, drizzle with a little more of the remaining dressing, to taste.
