This was inspired by a dish at a Thai restaurant in Oklahoma City (can't recall the name). I got very close to the original, but not quite there. We had this with fried rice and Diet Ginger Ale, which was PERFECTLY complementary. ((I'm listing this the way I made it tonight and will add notes at the end for what I'll do differently next time.)) Ingredients:
2 boneless pork chops, cubed |
2 tablespoons cooking oil |
1/2 cup white sugar |
1/3 cup water |
1/2 cup lime juice |
2 medium jalapenos |
2 teaspoons yellow curry powder |
2 teaspoons paprika |
salt |
pepper |
Directions:
1. Cut the pork chops into cubes or thin slices. Cook them in the cooking oil over medium-high heat.
2. While the meat is cooking, heat the sugar in a small pan until very warm to the touch. Add the water and stir. Add the lime juice and chopped jalepenos. Leave this mixture on low-medium heat to let the flavors meld.
3. Serve the sauce as a dipping sauce for the pork, or mix the two.
4. NEXT TIME I make this, I will use Ginger Ale instead of the sugar/water mixture. I will also cook the pork in some soy sauce. I will also look for a serrano or habanero pepper for a better flavor than the jalepeno.
