Today in the Kitchen

[rpd]

ERL, (aka Mild Bad Bob ) has posted on a few occasions about meals he has made for his Mom.(and they sounded wonderful). Today I made up a batch of Teriyaki Pork Chops so I thought I would share.
These are a real hit for bbq's. My grand daughter always requests them when she is coming for diner.

The recipe is from the Joy of Cooking. Teriyaki Marinade

Here is the ingredients. Ginger, garlic, pork loin (Costco), vegetable oil, dry sherry, brown sugar, soy sauce, micro plane to grate the ginger and blender to mix all together.

Now we have the pork sliced into chops, I did them about 1" this time but thicker is good too, and the marinade, I doubled the recipe and I add extra ginger.

Here the chops are put into medium freezer bags (two per bag) and the marinade is split between them. (12 meals for two ) (I have put the smaller bags into two large freezer bags to contain any leaks) They go into the fridge for a day to marinate and then into the freezer.

Thanks rpd!!
I love Teriyaki Chicken wings, or drum sticks and never been totally happy with store bought marinades. Will try yours either Thursday night or next week.
Out of here on Friday morning and not back till Monday pm.
I see no reason why the MS would object to us posting recipes here on Community, they are not political. My bro is in, not the best of dinner cooks, so I dont mind just doing dinner, why he takes care of the rest of the duties.
I rather work in the garage shop here then the basement shop at home in the summertime anyway and enjoy his company.

I noticed some of the other ingredients are bulk Costco size also.

Definately have to try this one. I get to use my vaccum sealer for this! Sort of a power tool for the kitchen!
Thanks for posting!

Chris, do NOT use the vacuum feature on a
piece of meat being marinated, or just get the
gas out.

Running liquid through that pump may ruin it.

Ron, is that "Canola" (rapeseed) oil?

I tend to stay away from rapeseed oil, except
for steam lubrication. During WWII, rapeseed
oil was poisonous, and has been genetically modified
to be palatable. (Hopefully, but I'm not going to
risk it.)

I realize, that by being Canadian, you could
be required to use oil from the Canadian Oil
Association. (Personally, I'm going with the
product represented on your flag. I go through
about 1 gallon of Pure Maple Syrup a year!)

It's not a real powerful pump, just a seal a meal system! Keeps the air out so no freezer burn...

I had one of those battery operated hand held vacuum pumps, one with a quart+ size Baggies, worked great, no freeze burn, I guess not popular enough, soon could not get the baggies. About a year later.

Bob, knew that, except your "resident" chemist.
(You know, as a resident whatever, they HAVE to live in your domicile.
Does Bob live with you?)

Got the steam engine oil information, from the link you provided, but before
you provided it.

Ron, I WILL be trying this recipe in the near future.
Will also be grilling the pork on my Weber. Thanks
for forwarding it!

I have been making this recipe since 1979, I used to use it for beef and that was good too. I haven't tried it on chicken but I sure it will work well.
When I was first making it I used cooking sherry , now I use dry sherry from the liqueur store, much better.

Canola was developed from rapeseed by breeding to reduce the unpleasant constituents to low/non harmful levels. There is no requirement for anyone to use Canola oil, but it is inexpensive and works well.

GMO/bio engineering doesn't necessarily bother me. After all, the transfer of genes from one type of organism to another is natural, bacteria have been doing it for billions of years.
Not a fan big business using it to create monopolies on patented genes and to increase the use of their pesticides though

Good spotting, I do a lot of my grocery shopping there.
