Teriyaki Pork Butt Steak with Asian Noodles

Advertisements

This teriyaki sauce is absolutely delicious! This sauce is a great mix of sweet and savory, and would go great as a glazing for any fish, chicken, or pork. The pork is delicious and of course the main part of the dish, however, the real star of this dish is the Asian noodles. The noodles are filling, the onion adds a great subtle flavor to the dish, and the cabbage adds great texture, and while the flavor of the pepper is also subtle, the color it brings to the side is delicious! For this recipe, I used the second half of the pork steak I had from yesterday’s post, peanut pork curry. That gave us enough pork for 3 servings, however with how much pasta I made, we had 5 serving total. The pasta was also great on it’s own, and if you were to serve this for a big family, I would recommend cubing the pork, then tossing into the noodles. This recipe can easily make enough to serve 5 adults.

Peanut Pork Butt Steak Curry

Advertisements

This Peanut curry is a nice twist to your classic curry. The peanuts perfectly compliment the flavors of the curry powder, and whether you like your curry spicy or mild, this curry with be a treat! When I made this recipe, I used half a bone in pork butt steak. Because of this, I had the bone and rim of fat, and so I added that with the veggies and cooked it with everything until I added the corn starch slurry, then I pulled them before the final ten minute of cooking. I also only used half my steak, because it is just my husband and I in our household, and I wanted to use the other half for the recipe I will be posting tomorrow. Finally, my curry powder is also very weak in flavor, so I tasted the curry at the end and added extra cumin, turmeric, and mustard powder at the end, to my taste. This curry recipe made 4 adult sized servings.

Slow Cooker Stuffed Cabbage with Sausage and Rice

Advertisements

Stuffed Cabbage, or pigs in a blanket, I’ve made before in the slow cooker. Last time, I used just beef, and that was very good. This time, to make it more traditionally, I added rice. Rice was originally added to stretch the filling to get more food cheaply. I also added some pork sausage. This added more spice to the stuffed cabbages. I also added beef broth to thin the sauce and cover the stuffed cabbages. It was another way to add more flavor than just water. I did make 10 stuffed cabbages with this recipe, but I made them very large, to the point where 1 to 1 1/2 stuffed cabbage was enough for 1 adult portion. These stuffed cabbages also freeze well. To freeze, transfer to a freezer safe container, cover with sauce, cover, label and freeze. Then they can be microwaved to reheat.

Seasoned Turkey Stock

Advertisements

To limit waste after Thanksgiving, I like to use what is left of the turkey to make stock. Last year was my first time, and the frozen stock lasted me a year. Last year I didn’t flavor my stock before it was frozen, and it was a huge shame. This year I seasoned my stock with onion, celery, and garlic. These flavors go well with turkey, and can be used in a variety of dishes throughout the year. I purposely left out herbs because I want a very versatile stock. I also didn’t add salt to this stock, though I would need it if I were to make a soup with it, I didn’t want any future dishes to be too salty as a result of a salty stock. Otherwise this stock is straight forward. Boil, strain, then store.

What You Will Need

  • 1 Cooked Turkey with Meat removed
  • 1/2 Onion, quartered
  • 2 Celery Stalks, cut into 1/3s
  • 2 Garlic cloves, peeled and halved
  • Large Stock Pot and Lid
  • Ladle, Large Wooden Spoon, Small Bowl
  • Strainer
  • Large Dutch Oven
  • Freezer Containers

Directions

1. Place the turkey bones into the stock pot. Soak in water for 10 minutes. Drain. Cover bones with water, leaving about 1-2 inches until the lip of the pot. Place on stove over medium heat. Add in your cut veggies and let simmer uncovered for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Every 10 minutes, skim off bubbles forming on surface and place in a small bowl on the side.

2. Once most bubbles have seemed to stopped settling on top, turn up the heat a little to bring the pot at a gently boil. Boil for 2 hours covered, then remove the lid and boil for another hour uncovered. Remove from heat and let cool for about 1 hour.

3. Once cooled, place your strainer on top of your dutch oven and place in your sink. Pour about 1/2 of the liquid and bones into the strainer. Shake your strainer, then discard what is in your strainer. Place the strainer back on top of the dutch oven, and pour the second half of the stock into the strainer. Shake and discard remaining bones. Use a ladle to transfer broth into freezer safe containers. Label then store.

Thai Pasta

Advertisements

This Thai pasta is very easy to make and is full of flavor. Before you make this dish there are a few things to note. First, you can use other Thai noodles for this recipe, but even Thai noodles should be soaked before finished in the pan with the sauce. Second, prepare everything before hand. The spices in the oil can burn if cooked for too long or too hot. You could also start by cooking the pork first, then throwing it together after, but it’s important to let the garlic and cayenne be able to cook and infuse with the oil. The garlic pepper oil is the focus of this dish. Third, you can make this dish as hot or as mild as you like. This recipe has a bit of spice as an aftertaste, but it’s not nearly as spicy as traditional Thai cooking. Finally, this recipe is easy to make if you are in college or work a demanding job. This recipe makes 4 adult servings.
