Instructions for Old White Cut Pork Slices with Garlic Sesame

Fresh ham or a fairly fat cut of pork is traditionally used for this recipe, but boneless lean pork loin makes a delicious and leaner substitute. For a nontraditional presentation, serve the pork with grilled asparagus spears, Asian eggplant and/or zucchini slices. Or, arrange the slices on a bed of watercress with strips of roasted pepper and serve as a first course salad. Or, simply alternate the pork with thin rounds of chilled cucum- ber. Bring the water to a boil in a large pot, then add the pork, green onions, ginger, garlic and wine. Bring to a boil again. Skim off the scum that rises to surface. Cover, reduce heat low and simmer for 45 minutes. When the meat is done, half fill a large pan with cold water and ice cubes. Remove the meat from the pot and immediately plunge it into the ice water; let sit for 20 minutes to firm up the meat and juices. Remove pork, pat dry, cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 2 to 3 hours, or overnight. Garlic Sesame Sauce: Mix together all ingredients. To serve: Cut the meat crosswise into paper-thin slices (no thicker than 1/8 inch) and arrange in a circular pattern on a plate. Serve sauce on the side or drizzle it over the pork. Garnish with fresh coriander eaves. PER SERVING: 120 calories, 14 g protein, 1 g carbohydrate, 6 g fat (2 g saturated), 41 mg cholesterol, 250 g sodium, 0 g fiber.
