Pork Roast with New Potatoes On the day I made this roast, I had prepared duck for myself, but since it's not a dish everyone enjoys, I made something simple for my partner. I chose a few slices of pork leg, marinated them in soy sauce and chili sauce, then cooked them in the oven with garlic and shrimp paste. In the end, I served the meat with fried new potatoes and an apple-thyme sauce, prepared according to the recipe I had noted earlier for the duck breast. Quick Info Total Time: not specified in the original recipe Preparation Time: not specified; includes marinating the meat and preparing the ingredients Cooking Time: until the meat is well cooked; exact duration not specified Servings: 5 slices of meat, depending on their size Difficulty: easy Recipe Type: main course, suitable for a daily meal Ingredients 5 slices of pork leg 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped 1 tablespoon of shrimp paste Soy sauce, for marinating the meat Chili sauce, for marinating A little oil, for cooking Thyme New potatoes, for garnish Apple-thyme sauce, for serving, prepared separately according to the mentioned recipe The quantity of soy sauce, chili sauce, oil, and new potatoes is not specified in the original recipe. Use according to taste and based on the amount of meat and the number of people you are cooking for. Preparation Method 1. Place the slices of pork leg in a dish and add soy sauce and chili sauce. Mix well so that the marinade covers the meat. Let the meat marinate before cooking, without altering the unspecified proportions in the original recipe. 2. Put a little oil in a pan and heat it. Add the finely chopped garlic and shrimp paste. 3. Let the garlic cook until it is lightly browned. It is important not to let it burn, as it will make the dish taste bitter. The shrimp paste should be mixed with the garlic and oil as it heats. 4. Add the pork slices to the pan. Let them cook for about 2 minutes, just enough to brown slightly on the outside. 5. Pour the remaining marinade over the meat. Place the pan in the oven and let the roast cook until the meat is well done. The original recipe does not specify the oven temperature or exact time, so check the meat during cooking. 6. Meanwhile, prepare the fried new potatoes. They are served alongside the pork roast. 7. Place the meat on a plate with the new potatoes and add the apple-thyme sauce. The sauce is prepared separately, according to the recipe indicated for the duck breast. The meat is ready when it is well cooked inside. Since the pork slices can vary in thickness, the cooking time may vary. There is no need to change the marinade or add other spices: the soy sauce, chili sauce, garlic, and shrimp paste already provide the main flavor of the dish. Why I Make This Recipe Often It's a simple version of pork roast, perfect when I want to prepare something without a long list of ingredients. Marinating in soy sauce and chili sauce is quick, and the meat goes into the oven after being briefly browned in the pan. I also like that the side dish is easy to choose. Fried new potatoes are sufficient for an ordinary meal, and the apple-thyme sauce changes the flavor of the plate without needing a complicated sauce for the meat. Tips and Variations Tips The garlic should be lightly browned. If it darkens too much, it can spoil the taste of the entire dish. Let the meat brown for about 2 minutes before adding the marinade. This step is brief but helps form a browned surface before baking. Do not discard the used marinade. In this recipe, it is added to the pan over the meat before the dish is placed in the oven. Soy sauce is salty, and the shrimp paste also has a strong flavor. For this reason, the recipe does not require separately mentioned salt. Check the meat towards the end of cooking, especially if the slices are thin. The source does not indicate a fixed cooking time, and the thickness of the pieces directly influences the duration. Substitutions The recipe is built around pork leg, so changing the type of meat may alter the cooking time and texture. If using another cut of pork, monitor the meat and do not automatically keep the same cooking time. The apple-thyme sauce can be omitted if you do not have it prepared, but the original serving includes this sauce. There is no need to replace it with another sauce to cook the roast. Variations You can adjust the amount of chili sauce based on how spicy you want the dish. It is part of the marinade, so changing it will also alter the flavor of the meat. For a milder version, you can use less chili sauce while keeping the rest of the steps unchanged. The recipe does not specify an exact amount, so adjustments are made to taste. Serving Ideas Serve the roast as soon as it's ready, alongside fried new potatoes. Also, drizzle a bit of the sauce formed in the pan over the meat. The apple-thyme sauce is added at serving. Its slightly sweet and aromatic flavor complements the seasoned meat and potatoes. If preparing the meal for several people, you can serve the potatoes separately, allowing everyone to choose their portion. The 5 slices of meat represent the quantity in the original recipe. Frequently Asked Questions Can I use another cut of pork? The recipe was made with pork leg. It can be adapted for another cut, but the cooking time and texture may differ. It is important to check the meat during cooking, as the source does not provide a standard oven temperature or time. How long should the meat be marinated? The recipe states that the pork slices are marinated in soy sauce and chili sauce, but does not mention the duration. Let the meat marinate as long as you usually do, without altering the rest of the steps. Is all the marinade added to the pan? Yes. After the pork slices brown for about 2 minutes, the marinade is added to the pan, and the dish is placed in the oven. Is salt necessary? Salt is not mentioned in the recipe. Soy sauce and shrimp paste already have a salty and intense flavor, so it is better to taste the sauce before considering any additions. What can I serve with the roast if I don’t have apple-thyme sauce? In the original version, the roast is served with this sauce and fried new potatoes. The sauce can be omitted, but the potatoes remain the main side dish of the recipe. Nutritional Values The values below are estimates. They cannot be accurately calculated as the quantities of soy sauce, chili sauce, oil, potatoes, and apple sauce are not specified, and the size of the meat slices can vary. For a serving consisting of one slice of pork, a portion of new potatoes, and a little sauce, the estimate may be: Calories: approximately 500-700 kcal Protein: approximately 30-40 g Carbohydrates: approximately 35-55 g Fat: approximately 20-35 g Fiber: approximately 3-5 g The greatest variation comes from the amount of fried potatoes and oil. Soy sauce and shrimp paste can also increase the sodium content, so there is no need to add extra salt without tasting the dish. Storage and Reheating Leftover roast should be stored in the refrigerator in a sealed container. Since the recipe does not specify a storage duration, it is preferable to consume it as soon as possible while the meat and side dish retain their texture. Fried new potatoes are best fresh. After storage, they may lose their firmness and will not have the same texture as immediately after frying. When reheating, warm the meat along with a little of the sauce from the pan to prevent it from drying out. The potatoes should be reheated separately. The apple-thyme sauce is added at the end and does not need to be mixed with the roast during reheating.
