This was wonderful! Five Spice Pork Wraps recipe from Williams-Sonoma

I reduced the original recipe to about 1/4 of the original, since I wasn't feeding 14. Actually, I think I 1/4'd the pork and the spice rub, and halved the sauce stuff, so my dish turned out a little saucier than pictured. I like it that way, so I think I'd repeat that. I listed my revised measurements at the end of this post.

We loved the spice that the sriracha added - it added a nice heat, not a blazing hot thing. The meat was so flavorful, and the cool lettuce and garnishes were such a nice contrast. Loved it!

Five-Spice Pork Wraps

4 tsp. Chinese five spice

1 Tbs. kosher salt

3/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper

6 lb. boneless pork shoulder, cut into 10 large pieces

3 Tbs. vegetable oil

2 yellow onions, diced

1 1/2 tsp. finely grated fresh ginger

1 1/2 Tbs. minced garlic

1/3 cup soy sauce

1/3 cup hoisin sauce

2 Tbs. Sriracha chili sauce

1 1/2 cups chicken broth

Butter lettuce leaves, steamed white rice, bean sprouts, thinly sliced green onions, cilantro leaves, extra hoisin and extra Sriracha, for serving

Preheat an oven to 350°F.

In a small bowl, combine the Chinese five spice, salt and pepper. Rub the mixture evenly on the pork.

In a cocotte or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, warm 2 Tbs. of the oil. Working in batches, brown the pork on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes per batch. Transfer to a large bowl.

Reduce the heat to medium and warm the remaining 1 Tbs. oil. Add the yellow onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute. Add the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, Sriracha sauce and the broth and bring to a simmer. Return the pork to the pot. Cover the pot, transfer to the oven and bake, turning the pork occasionally, until it is fork-tender, about 2 3/4 hours. (I didn't cook that long, maybe 1 1/2 hours.)

Skim the fat off the sauce. Using tongs and a fork, pull the pork apart into large chunks. Serve with lettuce leaves, steamed rice, bean sprouts, green onions, cilantro, hoisin sauce and chili sauce.

Serves 14.

Here's the revised measurements I used:

1 tsp. Chinese five spice

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper

1 1/2 lb. boneless pork shoulder, cut into 5 large pieces

1 Tbs. vegetable oil

1 yellow onion, diced

3/4 tsp. finely grated fresh ginger

3/4 Tbs. minced garlic

2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 1/2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

1 Tbs. Sriracha chili sauce, plus more for serving

3/4 cup chicken broth

It looks wonderful! I think Srircha must be "trendy" for 2011, I've seen some really good looking

recipes using it recently. Thnaks for posting.

 
I was just reading this in the new catalog thinking it sounded good. Thanks for the review Sandi...
