I just love when a meal idea I get in my head works out just as I hope it will!
Tonight I served Asian Pork Tacos ~ with cabbage & spicy marinated vegetables.
The pork was pork shoulder steaks that I sliced and marinated in Norm's Kalbi marinade (with the addition of some microplaned apple because it helps break down the tough meat). Then I braised the pork in the marinade in the toaster oven for a couple hours to be sure it was tender. Finally, I drained the braised pork and browned/crisped it up in a skillet with a bit more of the fresh marinade for a nice glazed flavor.
The pork got put on soft flour tortillas and topped with thinly sliced red & green cabbage and some spicy pickled vegetables: carrot, onion, radishes & cucumber. I even used some of the cabbage topped with the marinated vegetables as a sort of slaw salad because I had so much of it.
All in all, it was a very tasty supper. HE didn't have any comments or complaints so I figured it was a win!

After that comment, my Mom and her became enemies, and had not spoken to each other for years.....
