Soy Braised Pork With Shiitakes Recipes

SOY-BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH SHIITAKES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Generously season the short ribs all over with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
• Add the dried shiitake mushrooms to a large heatproof bowl and pour in enough boiling water to cover. Cover with plastic wrap and let soak for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• Heat the canola oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Working in 2 batches, sear the short ribs on all sides until deeply browned and crispy, about 10 minutes total. Remove the ribs from the pot and transfer to a plate.
• To pan with excess oil and beef fat, add the onion, Asian pear, ginger, scallions, and garlic, then cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly browned, about 10 minutes.
• Add the rice wine and stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
• Add the drained shiitake mushrooms, 1 cup (240 ml) of the shiitake soaking liquid, the sugar, light and dark soy sauces, gochujang, mirin, and sesame oil. Stir and bring to a boil.
• Nestle the short ribs back into the sauce, cover, and braise in the oven for 3 hours, or until the short ribs are tender enough to fall off the bone.
• Serve the short ribs over rice with the braising liquid spooned on top. Top with kimchi, sliced scallions, and toasted sesame seeds.
• Enjoy!

SOY-BRAISED PORK WITH SHIITAKES

Steps:

• Put oil in a large, deep skillet and turn heat to high. A minute later, add pork and cook, undisturbed, until nicely browned on one side, 3 to 5 minutes. Shake the pan or use tongs to turn, then toss in the ginger and garlic.
• A minute later, add soy sauce, sugar and 1/2 cup water, along with mirin, honey or sugar. Turn heat to low, cover and simmer about 30 minutes, until pork is fairly tender. Add shiitakes, stir, and cook about 10 more minutes, until pork is quite tender.
• Uncover, raise heat to high, and cook, turning pieces frequently, until liquid is reduced to a saucy consistency. Discard ginger and garlic if you like, and serve over white rice.

HONEY-SOY BRAISED PORK WITH LIME AND GINGER

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Place the pork in a large Dutch oven that has a lid. Scatter the garlic, ginger, red-pepper flakes and lime zest over the top. In a measuring cup, whisk together the tamari, honey and sesame oil, then pour it over the pork. Using tongs, turn to coat all sides of the pork in the sauce, and spoon some over the top so that some of the garlic and ginger is on top of the pork. Cover, transfer to the oven and cook for 2 hours.
• Uncover the pot and flip both chunks of pork. Cover the pot and braise until the pork shreds easily with a fork, about 1 more hour. Transfer to the stovetop.
• Using tongs, transfer the pork to a serving platter or a large shallow serving bowl. Using a ladle, skim and discard the excess fat off the surface of the cooking liquid remaining in the Dutch oven, if desired. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat and let it simmer until reduced and slightly syrupy, about 8 minutes.
• While the sauce simmers, coarsely shred the pork using two forks. Sprinkle the lime juice over the top of the meat. Drizzle about half the sauce over the top of the shredded meat, then toss to combine. Serve over rice or noodles or in lettuce cups. Top with sesame seeds, scallions and cilantro. Pass the remaining sauce at the table, if desired, as well as extra lime wedges and red-pepper flakes.
