Dynasty Pork Recipes

DONG PO (CHINESE PORK BELLY)

Steps:

• Slice the pork belly into 2-inch wide strips. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and stir in the pork slices; reduce heat to a simmer, and cook the meat for 10 minutes. Remove from the water, and blot dry with paper towels.
• Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large wok, and brown the pork strips well on all sides. Pork will splatter - use a splatter shield for this step.
• While pork is browning, mix together the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rice wine, rock sugar, ginger, and spring onions in a large soup pot or stockpot. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer, and lay the pork strips into the liquid. Cover, and simmer until the meat is very tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Add water as needed to keep the liquid from going completely dry.

DYNASTY PORK

Steps:

• Cut pork into 1/2 inch cubes.
• Put the flour in a plastic bag and season with salt and pepper. Add pork cubes to bag and shake until cubes are well coated. Reserve any remaining flour.
• Heat oil and butter in a frying pan, lower heat, and cook onion and garlic until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Increase heat to medium-high and add pork cubes. Cook until pork is browned on all sides. Stir in remaining flour.
• Gradually blend in chicken broth, reserved orange syrup, vinegar, and soy sauce, and bring to a simmer. Return onion and garlic to the pan, stir, cover, and simmer gently for 1 1/2 hours, or until the pork is tender.
• Stir in the green pepper and orange segments. Cook for 5 - 10 minutes, until the pepper slices are crisp-tender.
• Serve over rice.
