Chinese Grilled Pork Recipes

ASIAN MARINATED GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the soy, rice wine vinegar, chili sauce, ginger, garlic, scallions and orange zest. Place the pork in a large container or bowl and pour the marinade over the pork. Cover with plastic wrap, and let sit for 2 hours at room temperature, or overnight in the refrigerator.
• Remove the pork from the container, put the marinade in a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Remove from the heat and reserve it for drizzling over the pork when serving. *WARNING: This liquid MUST be brought to a boil to kill any bacteria from raw meat juices.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
• Dust the pork liberally with the ground coriander seed and place on the preheated grill. Brown it on all sides then move it to a cooler part of the grill to cook it to desired doneness, about 10 to 12 minutes.
• Remove the pork from the grill to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Slice the pork on the bias and place on a serving platter. Serve drizzled with the reserved boiled soy marinade.
• Pork- the other white meat!

• Place the ribs on the heated grill grate and cook for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 F. Baste with reserved marinade two to three times throughout the cooking process. Make sure to stop basting at least 5 to 8 minutes before the ribs are finished cooking.
