Notes
- While the ingredient ‘pork’ proves its value to the dish in being part of its name, we can still find ways to do without it. After all, we can still get our protein in other ingredients, and cut down on calories and saturated fat without pork chops. For those in vegan or vegetarian diets, you can try making your own rendition of Pork Steak with tofu. Because of its more neutral flavor, the spices and seasonings that come with this recipe go perfectly with it. Some specific tofu choices that work best as pork alternatives are mixed tofu, wheat gluten and soy protein isolates.
- And one of the most ideal substitutes for this ingredient is Tempeh. This is a frozen good made of grains or fermented soybeans. This is famous for working amazingly with stir-fries. But it can also be very delicious with our flavorful marinade, and has a great dry texture that likens it to pork.
- An essential tastemaker in most dishes, soy sauce can be truly difficult to go without. Its distinct umami taste provides depth to most stews, and is versatile almost to a fault. Because what would you do when you run out of it? Fortunately, there are a couple of alternatives you can look at if you’ve run out of your supply of soy sauce!
- Firstly, you can try getting your hands on some tamari, which is also made from soybeans. But this can also be handy if you have a gluten allergy, as it has no wheat content. But some brands carry some wheat, so it would be helpful to double check just in case! Because of their similar saltiness, you can place the same amount of tamari as the indicated amount in the recipe for soy sauce.
- Now perhaps a more common ingredient that would be great as a substitute is Worcestershire sauce. Like tamari, it is a gluten-free component that would work amazingly well in somewhat duplicating the saltiness of soy sauce. However, let me warn you that it has anchovies and shellfish if you are allergic to seafood. Additionally, this ingredient has less of the strong salty flavor of soy sauce, and so you might want to add a bit more of this than your recipe indicates for the latter seasoning.
- Calamansi also plays a great role in adding a unique flavor and twist to Pork Steak. But it can be pretty hard to find in some countries. Now if you can’t access this fruit, we also brought up limes in the recipe earlier as another option. But just in case you can’t grab some of these for our recipe, you can also try using lemons. Both have that refreshing citrus taste that could really liven up a dish.
- But because calamansi tends to taste more acidic than lemon, you can try making a mixture that helps other citrus fruits take on a similar flavor. Integrate 1 part orange juice with 3 parts lemon juice-- making sure that both are fresh from the fruit-- and use this instead for the recipe. This better impersonates the strong flavor of delicious calamansi!
- However, try not to be disappointed if some of these substitutes don’t work for you. We still have a ton of other recipes to choose from that taste like this delicious Pork Steak! And if in general, you start to crave more savory, flavorful pork chop dishes like this one, let me show you some other recipes.
