COOKING TIME: 3 minutes

8 servings

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 tbsp Ground Coriander
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 (3-1/2 To 4-1/2 lb) Bone-in Pork Shoulder Roast
  • 2 tbsp Canola or Peanut Oil
  • 1 Large Onion, Chopped
  • 8 Cloves Garlic, Chopped
  • 1 cup Panda Express Mandarin Sauce
  • Chopped Cilantro (Optional)
Mandarin Pork Roast

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Combine coriander, salt and pepper flakes and rub over all sides of roast.
  2. Heat oil in an oven-proof Dutch oven or large saucepan with cover over medium heat until hot. Add roast and brown for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Stir onion and garlic into oil around roast and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Spoon sauce evenly over roast. Cover and bake 2-1/2 to 3 hours or until roast is fork tender. Remove roast to a carving board, tent with foil and let stand while preparing sauce.
  4. Skim off and discard fat from pan sauce. Place sauce in a blender container or food processor. Cover and process until smooth. If sauce needs reheating, cook in a saucepan over medium heat until hot. Discard bones from roast and carve meat into slices. Spoon sauce over meat and garnish with cilantro if desired.

Note: if there is any leftover roast and sauce you may shred the meat by pulling it apart with two forks. Toss the shredded meat with any remaining sauce and refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months. Warm the filling and spoon into split French rolls along with sliced cucumbers and chopped cilantro or sliced green onions.

Separate fresh chicken wings into two pieces discarding the wing tips. Bake until cooked through, then brush with the sauce and broil just until bubbly and glazed.

Mix the sauce with equal parts of peach or apricot jam. Combine equal parts of cream cheese and soft goat cheese. Spread the cheese mixture on toasted French bread slices or pita chips and top with a spoonful of the jam mixture.

For a quick high protein snack, brown a thick slice of extra firm tofu on both sides in canola or peanut oil and drizzle with the sauce.

For a speedy sandwich, mix the sauce with shredded rotisserie chicken, spoon onto a tortilla, top with sliced cucumbers and/or green onions and wrap up.

Quick Mandarin Pork Chops: grill or broil seasoned pork chops until barely pink in center. Mix the sauce with Dijon mustard and brush over both sides of the chops during the last two minutes of cooking.
