Chinese Style Pork Fillet Recipes

Steps:

• Lay tenderloins on cutting board with long side running parallel to counter edge. Cut horizontally down length of tenderloins, stopping 1/2-inch from edge so halves remain intact. Working with one at a time, open up tenderloins, place between 2 sheets of plastic wrap, and pound to 3/4-inch thickness. Combine soy sauce, preserves, hoisin sauce, sherry, ginger, sesame oil, garlic, five-spice powder, and pepper in bowl. Reserve 3/4 cup marinade. Place pork in large zipper-lock bag and pour remaining marinade into bag with pork. Seal bag, turn to coat, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours. Combine reserved marinade, ketchup, and molasses in small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until syrupy and reduced to 3/4 cup, 3 to 5 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup glaze for glazing cooked tenderloin. Charcoal grill: Open bottom vent completely. Light large chimney starter filled with charcoal briquettes (6 quarts). When top coals are partially covered with ash, pour evenly over grill. Set cooking grate in place, cover, and open lid vent completely. Heat grill until hot, about 5 minutes. Gas grill: Turn all burners to high, cover, and heat grill until hot, about 15 minutes. Turn all burners to medium-high. Clean and oil cooking grate. Pat pork dry with paper towels, then rub with vegetable oil. Grill pork (covered if using gas) until lightly charred on first side, about 2 minutes. Flip and brush grilled side of pork evenly with 2 tablespoons glaze. Continue grilling until lightly charred on second side, about 2 minutes. Flip and brush evenly with 2 more tablespoons glaze. Repeat flipping and glazing twice more, until pork registers 140°F and is thickly glazed, about 4 minutes longer. Transfer pork to cutting board and brush with reserved glaze. Tent loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve.

Steps:

• Place tenderloins in a shallow glass dish. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sherry, black bean sauce, ginger, sugar, garlic, sesame oil, and five-spice powder. Pour marinade over pork, and turn to coat. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Remove tenderloins from refrigerator while the oven preheats.
• Bake pork in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or to desired doneness. Let stand for 10 minutes, and then slice diagonally into thin slices.

Steps:

• Place soy sauce, honey, rice wine, hoisin sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, five-spice powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and curing salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil on high heat; reduce heat to medium-high. Cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Cool to room temperature.
• Cut pork roast in half lengthwise. Cut each half again lengthwise forming 4 long, thick pieces of pork.
• Transfer cooled sauce to a large mixing bowl. Stir in red food coloring. Place pork sections into sauce and coat each piece. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 4 to 12 hours.
• Preheat grill for medium heat, 275 to 300 degrees F (135 to 150 degrees C) and lightly oil the grate. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Remove sections of pork from marinade and let excess drip off. Place on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with kosher salt to taste.
• Transfer pork sections to grate over indirect heat on prepared grill. Cover and cook about 45 minutes. Brush with marinade; turn. Continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 185 and 190 degrees F, about 1 hour and 15 minutes more. Do not use any more marinade on cooked meat until after you boil it.
• Place leftover marinade in saucepan; bring to a boil; let simmer 1 minutes. Remove from heat. Now you can use it to brush over the cooked pork.

Steps:

• Mix the pork medallions with the soy sauce and five-spice; leave to marinate for 5 mins. Heat a large non-stick pan, then fry the pork for 2-3 mins on each side until cooked through. Pour in 150ml boiling water with the honey and bubble for 2 mins. Mix the cornflour with a little water, stir into the sauce and cook until it thickens and is glossy.
• Meanwhile, make the fried rice. Pour the egg into a non-stick frying pan to make an omelette, cooking for 2 mins on each side. Remove, roll up, and cut into thin strips. Add the rice to the pan with the peas and stir-fry for 3-5 mins until piping hot, then gently stir through the omelette with the spring onions and seasoning and cook for 1 min. Serve with the pork and a dash more soy sauce.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients, except pork, in a bowl and mix well.
• Coat pork in mixture. I store mine in quart sized zipper bags, 2-3 chops per bag.
• Let pork marinade in refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour. I marinate for 24 hours.
• Cook outdoors on grill until done. On my grill that's 4-5 minutes per side.
• They also cook well indoors on a contact type grill. I generally cook for 5-6 minutes indoors.
• Pork filled bags may be frozen with marinade and thawed to cook later.
• **Note - Marinating time is not included in my "time to Make".

Steps:

• Seal and refrigerate at least 1 to 3 hours, turning bag over occasionally.
• Preheat oven to 500°F.
• Line small roasting pan with foil.
• Spray a cooling or cooking rack with nonstick spray, and place on top of pan.
• Place tenderloins on rack.
• SAVE MARINADE.
• Place meat in preheated oven.
• Roast 9 to 10 minutes.
• Turn and roast 9 to 10 minutes more.
• Check temperature in thickest part of meat.
• It should read approx 160°F.
• Remove from oven, and allow meat to stand 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile pour marinade from bag into saucepan.
• Rinse the bag with the 1/2 cup of water.
• Add to saucepan.
• Bring to low boil.
• Boil slowly for 5 to 6 minutes.
• Right before ready to serve, add butter to sauce; stir.
• Slice meat into 1/4 inch slices.
• Place on hot rice.
• Spoon marinade sauce over meat and rice.
• Top with green onions.
• Note: This can be cooked on the grill also.
• Cook until temperature reaches 150 to 160°F.
• You can also cook in oven for 6 minutes each side, and then toss on a gas grill for a few minutes for a outdoor flavor.

Steps:

• Place the porkloin in a large ziploc freezer bag.
• In a small bowl, stir together the rest of the ingredients until the sugar has dissolved.
• Pour into the ziploc bag; remove as much air as possible and seal shut.
• Refrigerate from 6 to 36 hours (I prefer the longer marinade time).
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Remove porkloin from the marinade (discard remaining marinade); place on wire rack in a shallow baking pan.
• Insert meat thermometer.
• Roast about 1 hour or until the internal meat temperature reaches 165 degrees.
• Remove from oven and allow to rest on the wire rack for 15 minutes before removing thermometer.
• To serve as a main course, cut the porkloin into 1/4" slices.
• To serve as a Chinese appetizer, cut into 1/4" slices; arrange on platter with separate small bowls of Chinese hot mustard and untoasted sesame seeds.
• Enjoy it by first dipping a slice into the mustard, then into the sesame seeds.
