Steamed Pork With Spicy Rice Powder And Sweet Potatoes Food

30-MINUTE SPICY PORK AND SWEET POTATO STEW

Steps:

• Puree the tomatoes, onions, garlic, chipotle and adobo sauce in a food processor until completely smooth.
• Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat until nearly smoking. Add the pork in a single layer, season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, undisturbed, until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Turn the pieces and cook until brown, about 1 minute more. Dust the meat with the chili powder, and add the tomato puree, sweet potatoes, chicken broth, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, cover and gently simmer until the meat is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the toppings: Chop the jalapenos, and whisk together with the yogurt in a small bowl. Shred the cabbage, cut the avocado into chunks and cut the lime into wedges.
• Ladle the stew into large, deep bowls. Top with the yogurt mixture, garnish with the cabbage, avocado, lime and cilantro and serve with the tortillas.

PORK AND SWEET POTATOES OVER RICE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and brown sugar together. Then add tamari, sherry, pineapple juice, ginger, and granulated garlic, and mix well. Set aside.
• In a large saute pan, heat oil over medium high heat. Saute pork, browning on all sides. When browned, remove with slotted spoon and set aside. In same pan and oil, saute yellow onion until golden brown. Add sweet potatoes and sweet peppers to sauteed onions and continue to saute an additional 3 to 4 minutes, until vegetables begin to soften. Add additional oil if necessary.
• Add sauteed pork and snow peas to sauteed vegetables in pan. Stir cornstarch mixture to blend and pour over pork and vegetable mixture. Cook over medium heat stirring frequently, until sauce thickens, becomes glossy, and coats the pork and vegetables. Add scallions and toss to combine.
• Serve over cooked white rice.

STEAMED PORK WITH SPICY RICE POWDER AND SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Cut the pork into cubes, roughly 1 1/2 inch each.
• In a deep bowl, combine the soy sauce, cooking wine, sesame oil and spices.
• Add the pork chunks and marinate, covered and refrigerated for at least 6 hours, preferably 12. The longer the marinade, the more savory the taste.
• Peel and cut sweet potatoes into 1 to 2 inch chunks.
• Remove pork from marinade and discard the liquid and spices.
• In a large steamer that is already simmering, add sweet potato and pork chunks.
• Sprinkle the spicy rice powder over the pork and sweet potato chunks, turning gently to coat, most should be on top.
• Steam at a rolling boil, covered tightly for 40 minutes, or until pork is cooked through and sweet potatoes are soft. Check from time to time to see that there is enough water in the steamer.
• Serve hot. The rice will expand and form a delicious coating for the buttery soft sweet potato chunks, and savory pork cubes.
