Sweet Chilli Pork Recipes

THAI SWEET CHILI PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Gather ingredients.
• Rub your pork tenderloin with olive oil, paprika, salt, pepper and garlic on all sides. Add a little extra olive to your pan. (If you have an iron skillet or a pan that can be used from stove top to oven, that is best. It saves on doing extra dishes.
• Sear your seasoned pork tenderloin in the pan on medium-high heat on all sides. About 2 minutes per side or about 6 minutes.
• Transfer your seared, seasoned pork tenderloin to the pre-heated oven and cook for about 10-15 minutes more or until the internal temperature is 145 degrees F. Turn the pork loin over half way through the cooking process.
• Stir together the ginger, tamari (soy sauce) and Thai sweet chili sauce (or to make low carb/diabetic friendly, exchange with sugar free orange preserves, teaspoon water and chili flakes).
• Brush on the Thai chili sauce glaze on the pork tenderloin during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Remove the pork tenderloin from the oven and allow to rest 5 minutes. Slice pork tenderloin and garnish with sliced green onions.
• Enjoy!

SWEET CHILLI PORK

Steps:

• Heat oil in large frying pan.
• Add onions, chilli and pork and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• Add brown sugar, water and fish sauce and bring to the boil.
• Lower heat and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes or until sauce is thick and syrupy, stirring while cooking.
• Sprinkle with coriander and serve with steamed rice.

SWEET AND SPICY CHILI PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add pork, cooking 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove pan from heat and let pork stand for 30 seconds.
• While pork cooks, combine brown sugar, soy sauce, chile paste, hoisin and rice vinegar in a small bowl.
• Pour sauce over the pork, scraping the pan to loosen the fond. Turn the pork over to coat. (The recipe does not call for this, but I often will return over low heat just to make sure the sauce is heated through, if there is not enough residual heat in the skillet).
• Serve garnished with the green onion slices.
• I had a couple of thick boneless chops sitting around, so I cut them into thin, flat slices and cooked as above; then doubled the sauce ingredients, tossed it all together and served with saffron rice. A nice variation.
