    Asian Style Braised Pork Shoulder


    Source of Recipe


    My own

    Recipe Introduction


    I had this boneless pork shoulder--it was on sale, and my husband bought a whole bunch. Not a whole lot of variety out there for braised pork shoulder recipes--I think there are about 4 recipes recycled on the whole internet, lol. I looked and didn't find any that I had all of the ingredients for, so I took some stuff out of the fridge and cupboards came up with this one. It's really easy, and delicious.

    List of Ingredients




    3 Tbs oil
    2 1/2-3 lbs boneless pork shoulder, trimmed and cut into almost bite-size cubes
    3 bulbs shallots, sliced
    6 cloves garlic, minced
    1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
    1/4 cup white wine
    1 1/2 tsp fresh ground ginger
    1/2 tsp five-spice powder
    1/8- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
    1/4 cup apricot preserves
    1/4 cup orange marmalade
    2 Tbs hoisin sauce
    1/2 cup chicken broth
    cooked white rice, for serving with,if desired


    Recipe



    1 Heat oven to 275°.
    2 For the sauce--In a bowl, mix the garlic, soy sauce, wine, ginger, 5 spice powder, cayenne, apricot preserves, marmalade, hoisin and broth--set aside.
    3 Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a skillet or dutch oven with a lid, that is also oven-safe.
    4 Saute the pork until browned, then remove to a plate.
    5 Add the last tbsp of oil to the pan, and saute the shallots for about 2 minutes.
    6 Add the meat back to the pan, then stir in the sauce mixture.
    7 Bring to a simmer, cover, and place the pan in the oven.
    8 Bake for 1- 1 1/2 hours, until meat is tender and falls apart easily.
    9 Serve over white rice, if desired.


    Preparation time: 25 minutes
    Cooking time: 1-1 1/2 hours
