For an especially quick and easy meal, buy prepared Chinese barbecued pork loin (3/4 pound will be plenty). This pink-tinged meat is available at many Asian supermarketsor you may even be able to purchase it from your neighborhood Chinese restaurant. Ingredients:
a 1-pound piece center-cut boneless pork loin |
1/4 cup hoisin sauce |
1 tablespoon soy sauce |
1 tablespoon minced garlic |
1 1/2 teaspoons ketchup |
1/4 teaspoon chinese five-spice powder |
4 medium leeks (white and pale green parts only) |
1/2 pound snow peas |
3 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce |
1 tablespoon chicken broth |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
5 cups chilledchinese-style white or brown rice |
1 1/2 tablespoons corn or safflower oil |
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh gingerroot |
1 1/2 tablespoons chinese rice wine or sake |
Directions:
1. Make barbecued pork loin: Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Trim any fat from pork and pat pork dry. In a bowl stir together remaining barbecued pork loin ingredients. Add pork to barbecue sauce, turning it to coat.
3. In a small baking pan lined with foil roast pork 25 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted at least 2 inches into pork registers 155°F. Cool pork completely. Pork may be roasted 2 days ahead and chilled in a sealable plastic bag.
4. Cut pork into 1/4-inch-thick slices and cut slices into 1/2-inch squares. Cut leeks crosswise into thin slices and in a bowl soak in water to cover, separating slices into rings and agitating occasionally to dislodge any grit, 5 minutes. Lift leeks from water and drain in a colander. Trim snow peas and halve diagonally.
5. Make seasoning liquid: In a small bowl stir together seasoning liquid ingredients.
6. Spread rice in a shallow baking pan and separate grains with a fork.
7. In a deep 12-inch heavy non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and stir-fry leeks and gingerroot 1 1/2 minutes, or until leeks begin to soften. Add snow peas and toss to coat. Add rice wine or sake and stir-fry until snow peas are crisp-tender. Add rice and pork and cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until heated through. Stir seasoning liquid and add to fried rice, tossing to coat evenly.
