Char Siu Pork with Stir-Fried Bok Choy
Take Home Chef, Episode 77: Lesli's Menu
INGREDIENTS
| For the pork tenderloins: | |
| 1 stalk lemongrass | |
| ½ cup/175 g char siu sauce (Chinese barbecue sauce) | |
| ¼ cup/85 g honey | |
| 2 garlic cloves, minced | |
| Two 12-ounce/340-g pork tenderloins, silver skin trimmed | |
| 1 tablespoon/15 ml vegetable oil | |
| For the bok choy: | |
| 1 tablespoon/15 ml vegetable oil | |
| 6 regular-sized bok choy, each cut lengthwise into four pieces | |
| 2 tablespoons/30 ml reduced-sodium soy sauce | |
| 2 teaspoons/about 5 g sesame seeds, lightly toasted |
PREPARATION:
To prepare the pork:
- Pound the stalk of lemongrass with the dull edge of a large knife, then cut the lemongrass crosswise into 4 pieces. Combine the lemongrass, char siu sauce, honey and garlic in a bowl. Add the pork tenderloins to the sauce mixture and massage the sauce over the pork.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight, turning the pork occasionally. Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. Remove the pork tenderloins from the marinade and wipe off the excess marinade. Pat the tenderloins dry with paper towels.
- Place a large nonstick, ovenproof frying pan over a medium to high heat. Add the oil to the hot pan then add the pork tenderloins. Cook for 1 minute on three of the four sides of the pork or until the pork is golden-brown and seared.
- Turn the pork onto the fourth side and transfer the pan to the oven. Roast the pork in the oven for about 10 minutes or until an instant-read meat thermometer registers 145°F/65°C when inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin for medium doneness.
- Transfer the pork tenderloins to a cutting board and allow them to rest for 5 minutes. Cut the tenderloins crosswise into thin slices.
Meanwhile, to prepare the bok choy:
- Place the wok over high heat. Drizzle the oil into the hot wok. Add the bok choy and stir fry for 2 minutes. Add the soy sauce and toss to combine. Cook for about 5 minutes, tossing occasionally, or until the bok choy is crisp-tender.
- Divide the bok choy among 4 serving plates. Arrange the pork slices around the bok choy and drizzle with the accumulated pan juices. Sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds and enjoy!
