Yesterday was a busy day
getting ready for NYE and also going to therapy. When we got home I collapsed for a while and
then proceeded to kind of follow the following recipe. I found this recipe on the internet. It does not give the serving quantity, but
easily 4.
Ingredients:
¼ C Low sodium soy sauce
1 T hoisin sauce
1T rice vinegar
3 T canola oil
4 oz of ground pork
3 small Chinese sausages, thinly
sliced or you may substitute matchstick slices of maple-cured bacon
3 scallions, white and green
parts minced
1 T minced fresh ginger
½ t minced garlic
1 red hot chile, seeded and
minced
4C cold cooked jasmine rice
¼ C cilantro
¼ C finely diced fresh
pineapple
Directions:
1.
In a small bowl,
whisk the soy sauce, hoisin and vinegar.
2.
Heat a wok or
large skillet.
3.
Add the oil and
heat until smoking.
4.
Add the pork,
bacon and cook over high heat, stirring until the pork is lightly browned about
2 minutes.
5.
Add the minced
scallion, ginger, garlic and chile and cook until fragrant, about 1
minute.
6.
Add the rice,
breaking up any lumps as you stir fry.
Add the hoisin-soy sauce. Heat thoroughly.
7.
Finally add the
cilantro and pineapple.
The only thing I did
different is that I had 3 smoked pork chops left over from the Loveless Café that
we went to the day before. Instead of
adding the pork in step 4 as it was already cooked, I added it in step 6. We though the chops really added to the
flavor of the dish. Unless you can find Chinese
sausages, maybe instead of using bacon as suggested, use a flavorful Adele sausage.
More about the Loveless Café,
this is a Tennessee landmark, and is definitely southern cooking and portions. We enjoyed it and look forward to taking
guests there in the future. The pastry
chef has just written a cookbook. We
were too full for dessert, but in the future I plan to eat less biscuits and
save room for dessert. The guy at the
table next to us had both banana pudding and chocolate peanut butter pie!
