Cooking : Lean, Sweet Teriyaki Pork

You can use chicken or beef, I believe, but this is something you can easily whip up during the busy week because all you need is to assemble the sauce, marinade the meat and then let it cook in an oven.

I used a bottled Teriyaki sauce but if you don't have it in the kitchen right now but would like to make it too, combine the following:-

  • soy sauce
  • water
  • sweet rice wine
  • sugar
  • garlic powder
  • ground ginger 

...because that's the list of ingredient (general consensus, I guess, don't hold it against me) for teriyaki sauce.

Lean, Sweet Teriyaki Pork

Normally, when I bake pork, I like the half-lean, half-fat pork belly but I think it's about time to see if my air fryer oven can turn this lean pork into delicious, not-dry dinner. And it DID!!! Yay for technology!

And while the pork is cooking in the oven, you will have the time to quickly stir-fry something green and dinner would be complete!

Anyway, here's the recipe and if you want to print out the lean, sweet teriyaki pork recipe, head over to the cookpad page.

Have fun feeding your loved ones,

Lean Sweet Teriyaki Pork

Ingredients

3 servings
  1. Lean pork
  2. 3 tbsp teriyaki sauce
  3. 1 tbsp soy sauce
  4. 1/2 tbsp mirin
  5. 3/4 tbsp brown sugar
  6. 1 tsp salt
  7. 1 tsp chicken/dried anchovies granules (optional)
  8. 1 dash black pepper
  9. 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  10. 1 tsp dark soy sauce
  11. 1 stalk spring onions
  12. 1 tsp sesame seed
  13. Method

    1 hour

    1. In a big bowl, mix teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, salt, pepper, chicken granules, oyster sauce and dark soy sauce together and adjust to taste.
    2. Pour the above mixture into pork, massage and marinade at least 2 hours in the refrigerator
    3. Heat oven to about 130 - 150 degrees and bake the pork. Turn the over, time and again so that they are cooked evenly and not too burnt on one side. Bake for approximately 40 minutes (depends on your oven)
    4. Remove pork from oven, cut into slices and garnish with spring onions and sesame seed. Serve with rice and stir-fried vegetables.
    5. Note : If you have extra marinade, don't throw it away! Simmer and reduce the sauce down, add water and soy sauce, adjust to taste and turn it into a dipping sauce. Or you can simply pour the sauce over the sliced pork and rice before serving.
    6. Enjoy!

Stargazer - Stretch Those Sides

I have been doing this pose, part of Cosmic Dance (a type of yoga, I am assuming), called Stargazer pose without knowing it is called Stargazer's pose a lot in the past. You see, sometimes, I don't follow the rules and come up with my own stretches and poses. It is fun. I have on some music, nice, soothing music or just anything I can click on. Then I go with the flow, letting my hair down. Just moving to the music...and that is when I come up with the above Stargazer's pose. This pose really stretches your sides. Keep your eyes on the outstretched hand if you are keeping it pointed to the top, as if you are waving or connecting to a higher energy from the Universe. Your arms will ache a little but hey, toned arms, here you come! :-) For those who want a bigger stretch, it is safe to slowly and gently move the lifted hand towards your back...don't overdo it, listen to your body's complaints and respect it. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, reme

Maid Side-Kick

I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore . There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me. For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media. Since we were more like partners in crim

Project Wolf Hunting (2022) - Film Review

Less than 10 minutes into the movie, I was already wondering why am I watching this show, and in the dead of the night.  But I was thinking to myself, I've toughened up quite a bit when it comes to things like these... Happiness , Signal , Sweet Home , Alice in Borderland , Vagabond , City Hunter , Tunnel ...these crime and sci-fi dramas and films I endured just so that I can watch my favorite actors in action...they must have really built me some mental muscles.  Usually, I am the late kind because I want to see what everyone has to say about it...so that I am prepared.  I will just present you with reasons to watch and reasons NOT to. Here goes.  REASONS TO WATCH If you like Seo In Guk , Jung So Min , Jang Dong Yoon , Sung Dong Il , or maybe even Im Ju Hwan , you might want to endure this film.  Hint : If you're a fan of Jang Dong Yoon, maybe watch it.  It's interesting. I know we have a lot of post apocalyptic world films all over the place now but this is a little diffe
