How to Make Asian Style Stuffed Pork Loin
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, finely chopped water chestnuts, green onions, mushrooms, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Mix well.
- Butterfly the pork loin lengthwise, creating a pocket. Carefully stuff the pork loin with the rice mixture, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
- Tie the pork loin with kitchen twine to secure the stuffing.
- Place the stuffed pork loin in a roasting pan and pour the chicken broth around it.
- Roast for 60-70 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°F (63°C).
- Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- While the pork rests, prepare the sauce: In a small saucepan, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and cornstarch. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened.
- Slice the pork loin and pour the sauce over it before serving. Garnish with extra green onions, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
