Chinese-Style Pork and Rice Dinner
2 lb. tender pork loin or shoulder roast
1/2 c. soy sauce
1/4 c. honey
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp. salt
4 c. cooked rice
1 c. scrambled eggs
1/2 c. green onions
Mix soy sauce, honey, garlic, and salt together and marinate pork 24 hours, turning every 6-8 hours. Remove pork from marinade and bake at 400 for 1/2 hour. Turn heat down to 300 and bake until internal temperature reaches 170 or the packager's pre-inserted plastic thermometer pops up.
Let pork sit on top of stove or counter about 45 min. This will help the juices to settle (so the meat stays juicier) and will cool it off for easier slicing.
Slice almost all of the meat, saving a portion for adding to the rice. Cut the saved portion into small pieces and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix cooked rice, chopped scrambled eggs, green onions, and reserved meat. Add salt, soy sauce, and, if you wish, garlic and other seasonings to taste.

What a lovely dig. This makes me even more hungry..not to mention that I'm perpetually hungry. And although lunch is about to happen only 6 minutes from now, I'm picking this recipe up for tomorrow. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! This was really good, my hubby even complimented it. I only marinated the pork for 8 hours, didn't have any honey so I used brown sugar, and I added some Chinese Five Spice. I added the cooking water from the veggies to the meat juices, added a cornstarch wash to make a sauce for the meat and rice. The pork was so flavorful and moist. Thank you or this wonderful recipe!
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious...we do eat more pork than beef these days, so I will be trying this recipe!
