by Esther Choi
View ProfileTo give this hearty dish its savory quality, Chef Esther marinated tender flavorful pork shoulder in an umami-rich blend of light soy sauce, garlic, sugar, and plum. She braised the juicy pork with the decadent sauce and placed the combo atop a bed of tri-color quinoa and fluffy white rice. On the side: fresh spinach lightly whited in fragrant, nutty toasted sesame oil and crispy, refreshing bean sprouts for crunch without the calories. Wholesome and super satisfying, this meal will find a spot in your regular rotation. ?
