Spaghetti and Meatballs

One of my favorite kitchen gadgets is the pasta attachment for the Kitchen Aid Mixer.  There are a few things that taste so much better homemade - fresh pasta is definitely on that list!

Sweet and Spicy Asian Bok Choy Pork

<><><><><><>

Sweet and Spicy Asian Bok Choy Pork

Sweet Orange Glaze:

- Terriyaki sauce

- Soy sauce

- Sriracha

- Honey

- Orange juice

- Orange zest

Combine all ingredients.  Adjust amount of ingredients to individual taste.  This sauce is supposed to be the sweet component so I recommend light use of the sriracha.

Pork Instructions:

- 1 pork tenderloin.

Season pork with salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, powdered ginger, and Chinese five spice.  Use the Chinese five spice sparingly.  Brush glaze on pork.  Cook pork on roasting pan at 400 degrees, turn periodically, brushing on more glaze each time.  Set excess glaze aside.  Cook until pork reaches internal temperture of 150 degrees.  Take out of oven and wrap in tin foil for 15-20 minutes.  Once finsihed resting, cut into round slices.

Vegetables:

- baby bok choy

- red onion

- garlic

- red chili powder

- sriracha

- diced hot pepper (we used a serrano pepper)

- chopped tomatos

Sautee in a pan with olive oil onions, garlic, pepper, and tomatoes until onions are translucent.  Once onions are translucent, add bok choy.  Season with sriracha, chili powder, salt, and pepper to taste.  This is the spicy component so be as libral as you are able with your spices.  Cook the vegetables until the tomatoes are slightly carmelized and the bok choy greens are soft but the stems still crunch.

Finishing Sauce:

With the leftover glaze, place in small sauce pan and cook down until mixture becomes thick.  About 10 minutes on medium heat.

Plate:

Place the vegetables on a plate with the slices of pork on top and drizzle sauce on top.

EAT!!
