Five Spice Pork Sandwiches Recipes

HOISIN FIVE-SPICE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Pulse the pineapple, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, rice wine, honey, hoisin sauce and five-spice powder in a blender or food processor until smooth. Transfer to a medium saucepan and add the ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool. Add the pork chops, turning to coat; cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Preheat a grill to medium high and lightly brush the grates with vegetable oil. Remove the pork chops from the marinade, letting the excess drip off; transfer to a baking sheet and let rest 15 minutes before grilling. Transfer the marinade to a saucepan.
• Cook the marinade over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it boils and thickens slightly, about 7 minutes. (You can also do this in a cast-iron skillet on the grill.) Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and set aside.
• Transfer the pork chops to the grill and cook until marked, about 6 minutes. Flip and continue grilling until cooked through, 3 to 4 more minutes. Remove the pork from the grill and let rest 5 minutes. Serve with the sauce.

FIVE-SPICE PORK WITH ROASTED ORANGES AND BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the broccoli, onion, ginger, garlic and orange with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a shallow baking dish. Set aside.
• Pat the pork dry and sprinkle all over with the five-spice powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and sear, turning, until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes.
• Add the pork to the baking dish with the broccoli-orange mixture and roast until a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Meanwhile, return the broccoli-orange mixture to the oven and roast 5 more minutes. Serve the pork with the roasted broccoli and orange wedges.

VIETNAMESE PORK AND FIVE SPICE

Steps:

• Season pork with salt and pepper.
• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook pork and garlic in hot oil until the pork is completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Stir brown sugar, soy sauce, fish sauce, and five-spice powder with the pork. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook mixture at a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender enough to easily pull apart with a fork, about 2 hours.

GRILLED GARLICKY FIVE-SPICE PORK STEAKS

Steps:

• If the pork steaks are large, cut them into pieces about the size of your hand. To make the marinade, in a baking dish or shallow bowl large enough to accommodate the steaks, combine the garlic, shallot, five-spice powder, oil, fish sauce, salt, sugar, and pepper and mix well. Add the steaks and use your fingers to coat all the surfaces well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours for the best flavor.
• Remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Prepare a medium charcoal fire (you can hold your hand over the rack for only 4 to 5 seconds) or preheat a gas grill to medium.
• Grill the steaks, turning once, for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until browned and a little charred on the edges.
• Transfer the steaks to a plate, cover with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Provide each diner with an individual dish for the dipping sauce.
