Savory Oatmeal (with Orange Chili Pork)
Description
Savory Oatmeal (with Orange Chili Pork) blends old-fashioned oats cooked with lemongrass, chicken stock, and coconut milk to create a fragrant, creamy base. The pork is marinated with soy sauce and cayenne pepper, then dusted with cornflour and pan-fried until golden. A bright orange chili sauce is made by whisking orange juice, crushed red pepper, and cornflour to thicken. After cooking the pork, the sauce is added to coat the meat, lending a balance of spicy and citrus notes. The oatmeal is divided into bowls, topped with the orange chili pork, and can be served with an optional fried egg and spring onions. This dish combines the comfort of porridge with bold Asian-inspired flavors and varying textures. The recipe provides guidance on marinating times and cooking steps to maximize flavor.
Ingredients
Lemongrass Oatmeal
- 1 cup of Quaker old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup of good-quality seasoned chicken stock
- 2 pcs of packaged lemongrass or 2 tbsp of lemongrass paste
- 1/2 cup of coconut milk
- ½ tbsp crushed red pepper optional, aka chilli flakes
Pork Marinade
- 7 oz of pork cut into small chunks
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper ½ tsp if you like it spicy
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
Orange Chili Sauce
- ½ tsp cornflour
- ⅓ cup of orange juice
- 1 -2 tsp crushed red pepper aka chilli flakes
To serve (optional)
- egg fried
- honey
- spring onion chopped
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients for the pork marinade together in a large bowl and let the pork marinate for a few minutes. (You can marinate it in the fridge overnight, or about 30 minutes, or if you’re pressed for time, you can skip it altogether).
- Whisk all the ingredients for the orange chilli sauce until there are no lumps left from the cornflour. Set aside.
- Heat a pan with about 2 tbsp of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add 2 tsp of cornflour to the pork and mix it through. Add the pork to the hot pan and cook until the pork has turned golden brown, about 15 minutes. You can turn up the heat a little higher for this.
- While the pork is cooking, combine the stock, lemongrass and coconut milk in a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Stir in the oats and let it simmer over medium to medium-high heat for 5 minutes, uncovered. Stir occasionally. When cooked, divide the oats into two bowls.
- Optional step - Fry an egg, sunny side up.
- When the pork has turned golden brown, remove it from the heat (or just push it to the side in the pan). Add the orange chilli sauce to the pan, and it'll immediately start to thicken. Toss the pork in the sauce to coat. Add a pinch of salt, IF needed. Spoon the pork over the oatmeal in the bowl.
- Top with a fried egg, chopped spring onions and a drizzle of honey (optional). Enjoy while still hot!
