Recipe: Pork with Daikon and Star Anise
I usually cook it in a Chinese clay pot, but I think it would translate well
in a crock pot. Maybe someone who knows more about crock pots could give me some input on how to adapt the method. The original recipe is for oxtail but I like pork butt better. They're both good but I prefer pork to beef. I'm going to include the Shaoxing wine, but it can be left out. It's very similar to sweet sherry, so sub that or leave it out. Also, subbed Spenda for rock sugar. If you can't find daikon you can use turnip, although it's not as good. Pork with Daikon and Star Anise 2-3 pounds pork butt, cut into 2 inch cubes 1 pound Daikon, cut into odd shaped chunks 4 Star anise 1/4 cup Shaoxing wine 8 thin slices ginger 3 garlic cloves, smashed 1 Tbs. dark soy 2 Tbs. light soy 2 tsp. Splenda 1.5 tsp. Salt 1 cup cilantro leaves Cover pork with water and bring to a boil. Reduce to medium and add the wine, star anise, ginger and garlic and cook 1 hour. Add soy sauce, splenda, salt and continue to cook about 1-1/2 to 2 hours. Add daikon and cook another 30-45 minutes. The liquid should reduce to about a cup. Immediately before serving, toss in the cilantro. -- - Bear Grrrrrrrr : o) 297/275/210 Highest weight 353 http://home.earthlink.net/~polarbear50/index.html |

I'd like to do it with ox tails--but is ox tail a wise thing to eat now? -- Jean B., ca 12 miles west of Boston, Massachusetts, USA |

Recipe: Pork with Daikon and Star Anise
Hey Jean. It is yummy. I'd use oxtail without fear but I think a lot of the
beef scare is hype. It's very good with oxtail. Let me know if you try it! ok? -- Bear Grrrrrrrrrrrr ) 297/271/210 Highest weight 353 http://home.earthlink.net/~polarbear50/index.html "Jean B." wrote in message ...
