Here is my favorite spicy Chinese New Year of the Tiger recipe. Ready? It's spicy pork tenderloin. This is not something you can generally find in a Chinese restaurant and I only heard about it from my friend, Mai-Lin. I went to Mai-Lin's house for a Chinese New Year party last year and her husband cooked up this delicious spicy pork tenderloin dish that just melted in my mouth. He served it on a bed of some fantastic Asian greens (I think he called it yu choy) and a big bowl of jasmine rice. So, without further ado, here is the recipe:
Put a spoon of peanut oil is a non-stick pan. Once the pan gets hot, add a tablespoon of minced ginger and a clove of minced garlic. Stir fry that for about 30 seconds and then toss in 8 oz. of chopped pork tenderloin and cook until browned on all sides.
Once the pork is well browned, add a half teaspoon of ground coriander, quarter teaspoon of turmeric, a teaspoon of ground cumin, and a quarter teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Toss those spices around quickly and then pour in a half of a cup of beef stock or broth. Cook until the broth reduces or the pork is cooked all the way through. Serve this on a bed of the jasmine rice and sprinkle with some ground black pepper and a squeeze of lime juice.
This is one of the easiest Chinese New Years meals that I have ever cooked. I like to serve it with some chrysanthemum tea or a couple icy bottles of Tsing Dao beer. This year I'm going to add a dozen steamed dumplings and Hunan chicken wings as appetizers. I hope you try this for this Chinese New Year of the Tiger.
