3 green onions
1/4 cup (50 mL) all-purpose flour
1 tsp (5 mL) dried thyme
1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground allspice
1/4 tsp (1 mL) cayenne pepper
1 lb (500 g) pork shoulder, trimmed and cubed, or stewing cubes
3 tbsp (50 mL) vegetable oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp (15 mL) minced gingerroot
2 cups (500 mL) chicken stock
2 tbsp (25 mL) soy sauce
1 tbsp (15 mL) packed brown sugar
Preparation:
Chop green onions, reserving white and green parts separately; set aside.
In plastic bag, combine flour, thyme, allspice and cayenne. Add pork and shake to coat, reserving remaining flour mixture.
In Dutch oven, heat 2 tbsp (25 mL) of the oil over medium heat; fry pork, in 2 batches, until browned, 5 minutes. Remove to plate. Add remaining oil to pan; fry white parts of onions, garlic and ginger until fragrant, 2 minutes. Add reserved flour mixture; stir for 1 minute. Add stock and 1 cup (250 mL) water; bring to boil, scraping up brown bits.
Return pork and any accumulated juices to pan; stir in soy sauce and brown sugar. Reduce heat, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until pork is tender, about 45 minutes. Add green parts of green onions; simmer for 5 minutes.
