Glazed Ginger Pork Food

ONE PAN SWEET GINGER GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and place a large oven-safe skillet on the stovetop over medium-high heat.
• Season the pork tenderloins with salt and pepper on all sides.
• Add the olive oil to the skillet and once it's heated add the pork, searing it on all sides.
• While the pork is browning, add the garlic, thyme, mustard, ginger, brown sugar and soy sauce to a small bowl, whisking together to combine.
• Once the pork has browned on all sides, drizzle the glaze over the pork tenderloins and brush on all sides.
• Let the remaining glaze flow into the bottom of the skillet and place the skillet in the oven for about 10 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches about 150 degrees Fahrenheit (use a meat thermometer for this!).
• Once the pork reaches 150 degrees Fahrenheit, remove the skillet from the oven and baste the pork with the glaze in the bottom of the pan before covering lightly with aluminum foil and resting for 5-6 minutes.
• Slice the pork after it has rested and serve with the remaining glaze.

ASIAN PORK TENDERLOIN WITH GINGER GLAZE (SLOW COOKER)

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, salt, powdered ginger, cinnamon, garlic, cloves, black pepper, and crushed red pepper.
• Place the tenderloins in the slow cooker. Rub the seasonings over the pork, including the bottom.
• Pour ½ cup water in the slow cooker, on the edge or in the middle so that you don't wash off all the spices you just rubbed on.
• Cook on low for 6-8 hours, then preheat your broiler.
• While the pork is finishing up in the slow cooker and your broiler heats up, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, cornstarch, rice vinegar, COLD water, and soy sauce in a small saucepan.
• Set over medium heat and stir until mixture thickens, about 4 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in minced ginger.
• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick spray.
• Remove the pork from the crock pot (discard the liquid) and place on the lined baking sheet. Brush a generous amount of the glaze on the pork.
• Put your oven rack as high as it will go, and broil the pork for 1 or 2 minutes, until bubbly and caramelized. Don't walk away! Repeat 2 to 3 more times until it is as crusty as you want it. I wouldn't go many more times than this though, or your pork will dry out.
• Serve with remaining glaze on the side, and garnish with lime and cilantro. I love to serve this pork with Asian Cauliflower "Rice."

GLAZED PORK BELLY WITH GINGER BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the pork: Mix 2 teaspoons salt and the brown sugar in a bowl. Rub the pork with the brown sugar mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours, or overnight.
• Make the sauce: Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, 2 more minutes. Add the ketchup, apple juice, oyster sauce, vinegar, mustard powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened, about 20 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes, then transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. Set aside about one-quarter of the sauce for serving.
• Remove the pork belly from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before grilling. Preheat a grill to medium, then prepare for indirect heat: For gas, turn off the burners on one side. For charcoal, push the coals to one side. Place a drip pan under the grates on the cooler side of the grill.
• Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil. Place the pork on the cooler side of the grill (indirect heat) and cook, turning occasionally, until fork-tender but not falling apart, 2 hours, 30 minutes to 3 hours, brushing with the sauce occasionally during the last hour of cooking. Move the pork to the hotter side of the grill (direct heat) and cook, turning and brushing with more sauce, until glazed and lightly charred, about 5 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 20 minutes. Slice the pork belly and serve with the cornbread and reserved sauce.
