Sesame Coated Pork Medallions With Thai Style Citrus Glaze Recipes

SESAME-COATED PORK MEDALLIONS WITH THAI-STYLE CITRUS GLAZE

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine all the coating ingredients except the sesame seeds. Add the pork, toss well so that all pieces are well coated, and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the citrus glaze. Mix the citrus juices with the ginger in a non-reactive saucepan. Bring to a boil and boil vigorously for ten minutes. Add the corn syrup, chili sauce, and fish sauce, stir, and continue to boil until the sauce reduces to a very light syrup (the sauce should NOT be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon). Taste the sauce--it should have a tangy citrus flavor. Adjust the flavor as necessary with additional sugar or lemon juice, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Place the sesame seeds on a plate and press the medallions into the seeds so that they're well coated on both sides. Set aside to dry slightly.
• In a large non-stick skillet , heat the oil over medium-high heat. Put in the pork and cook until toasty brown on one side, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook for two minutes more. Add the citrus sauce and cook for 1 minute more, turning the pork medallions to coat well.
• Divide the lettuce among four plates and top each with 3 or 4 pieces of pork. Spoon some more sauce over the tops and garnish with the cilantro sprigs. Serve with steamed rice and a stir-fried vegetable of your choice.
