I have lots of leftover ingredients after baking the lemongrass & ginger cake. Whilst very tempted to bake another of that wonderful cake, I figured I still have a lot left. Enough to maybe bake another 10 of those. Not that I really mind...but...I really have to start watching my diet! Less than 2 months till the big day!
So, what to do with the rest of the cordial and stem ginger? And the other stalk of lemongrass? These ingredients reminds me of Thai food and so I decided to add some chili and make a somewhat Thai flavoured sauce out of these leftovers. The wild boar has been bugging me about panko chicken ever since those delicious panko chicken wings that I made awhile ago. So, all these lead to another wonderful meal.

Ingredients:Comments:
For spicy lemongrass & ginger sauce
- 500g Pork Loin Steaks
- 1 Egg
- Salt
- Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1 cup Panko
- Fry Light Sunflower Oil Spray
- 1 Cup Onion - diced
- 1 Red Chili - sliced
- 3 Garlic Cloves - pressed
- 1 Lemon Grass - bashed
- 3 Stem Ginger - coarsely chopped (about 2 tbs)
- 1/3 cup Lemongrass and Ginger Cordial (Bottlegreen brand)
- 1/3 cup Water
- Fish Sauce
Directions:
For spicy lemongrass & ginger sauce:
- Pound meat with a meat mallet or rolling pin until meat is about 1/4 inch thick.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of pork, leave aside for at least 30 mins.
- Switch oven to broil.
- Place beaten eggs in a bowl.
- Spread panko breadcrumbs on a plate.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper or foil.
- One by one, dip pork in beaten eggs then transfer to the plate with panko and coat thoroughly. Pour more panko on plate if not enough.
- Arrange pork on baking tray.
- Spray the pork with oil spray.
- Broil until browned (about 10 mins each side). Look closely as it will burn within seconds!
- Heat up a bit of oil in pan.
- Add onions and saute until soft.
- Add lemongrass, garlic and chili, fry until fragrant.
- Mix in stem ginger, cordial and water.
- Bring to boil then lower heat and leave to simmer for about 15 mins.
- Add fish sauce to taste.
- Pour onto baked pork loins and serve!
- This sauce is on the dry side, so I would suggest using less onions or just add more cordial and water. But I personally prefer more onions as the flavoured onions were delicious with the pork and rice.

What a lovely combination you have going on here. Your photos are always so gorgeous! Wish I was half as good as you at taking pictures!
This looks delicious, I love pork loin - there are two in my freezer right now!
I love when you can turn leftovers into a whole other meal. Nice work!
i love asian inspired pork dishes. it's such a delicious flavor combination. the lemongrass here sounds delicious!
What a gorgeous dish with lots of great flavors going on!
Oh wow... This must be really delicious!!!
omg so pretty, love the crispy skin. Can I have a bite? ;p
What a gorgeous dish! Love the crispy texture on the pork. Delicious! I have to confess to recently trying to make a lemongrass and ginger sauce and failing miserably - The third ingredient was opal basil and while the sauce was actually really tasty, it really tasted like a pesto sauce and not exactly what I was intending :)
Man, that looks way better than what I had for dinner tonight! I've been wanting to use lemongrass for some time, but can't find it around here.
That Lemongrass and Ginger Sauce sound so delicious! i'm baking some mackeral tonight and usually use this sesame-honey-soy sauce, but I think I'm going to try it with your sauce instead.
Lots of wonderful ingredients here to get those tastebuds working!
Mmm I love panko anything! It always makes things so deliciously crunchy. Looks great!
Even though I am not familiar with some of the ingredients, the dish looks very appetizing. What time is dinner? :-p
Lovely! Looks real crispy!
Thislooks fantastic!!! I love Panko crumbs! What a great idea. This would be such a hit at our house. I'm definitely giving this a try!
Donna:Thanks =) I'm still learning and am trying to figure out what's the best lighting.
Sara: I don't usually cook pork loin but cooking it this way is really delicious!
Apples and Butter: Thank you =) I always try my best to finish leftovers so I won't waste anything.
Heather:THe combination is great. I don't usually cook with lemongrass but I think I will in the future!
Reeni:Thank you =)
Selba:It was really delicious!
noobcook:I love crispy skin too! You are welcome to =)
5 Star Foodie:oo adding basil? That's interesting. But I think basil will overpower the flavours.
Bob:Try an oriental supermarket.
gastroanthropologist: oo I'm sure the sauce will go well with your mackerel!
Margaret:Yeap! Delicious flavours.
Lorraine: Thanks! I think we are addicted to panko!
Ben:Thank you =)
mycookinghut:It was really crispy and delicious!
:Katherine:Thanks!
I love lemongrass! A tasty looking dish.
Yum! My kind of food.. I love it! Anything with a panko crust is the bomb!
You can come to cook me dinner anytime! :-)
Oh Pig-Pig! I love panko and I just saw fresh lemon grass at the store yesterday-hello pork!
Hi there! How do you get your panko to stay so crisp and for the meat to not be overly doughy? My boyfriend tried to make chicken parmasean with panko and it tasted SOOOO doughy/floury even though the meat was cooked perfectly! Do you have tips for us because that pork looks DARN awesome. Thanks!!
So crispy and beautiful with the Panko.
This photo is excellent! The crispy cover sounds good. Do you suggest anything to drink with this scrumptious dish?
And could you please tell me what lemongrass is?
Yum yum, I've tried something close with pork and lemongrass too!
That's it, I'm packing my bags and moving in! You guys eat so well, I'm jealous. By the way, your Guinness stew reminded me that we hadn't had any in a while so I whipped up a batch of my regular no-recipe version last night :)
That pork looks nice and crispy and good!
May I have a bite please.....:)
looks really good~
oh my goodness i love love panko pork!! i always eat them when i was a exchange student in japan :-) yummy!!
Pam: I love lemongrass too! It just shines in a dish! Love the aroma.
Zen Chef: Thank you =) and I love anything with panko too!
Jennifer: Do give this a try and tell me how it goes!
luckytastebuds: Thank you =) It was really light and crispy. I basically just dip the seasoned pork loin in beaten egg and straightaway coat it with panko, shake off excess panko then broil. Did your boyfriend coat the chicken in flour? Perhaps omit the flour? And try to keep the panko layer thin by shaking off the excess. I've never pan fried panko crust for my diet's sake. So perhaps you can try baking/ broiling. It's healthier =)
noble pig:Thank you =)
zerrin:Thanks! Perhaps a cold beer?!
Lemongrass is commonly used in Asian cooking such as in stews, curries and soups. It is used like a herb and has a citrusy, lemony aroma. Here is a picture and more information of it.
Tigerfish: I'm guessing lemongrass will be a frequent on our dinner table!
Dee: You are only seeing the better meals =P THe stew is really a no-fuss recipe! Just dump whatever you fancy in and pour in a bottle og Guinness! Yummy!
