- 1/4 lb. Old Neighborhood Shaved Pork
- 1/4 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp. bbq sauce
- 3/4 lb. sweet potatoes, cubed
- small sliver of butter (roughly 1/3 tbsp.)
- 1 tsp. maple syrup
- 1/4 cup frozen corn
- 1/4 cup and 2 tbsp. shredded cheddar
- 1/4 cup panko
- scallions, diced
- In a medium pot, heat enough water to cover the sweet potatoes.
- When the water is boiling, add in the sweet potatoes, and let it boil for about 20 minutes, until they are tender.
- In a bowl, mix the shaved pork with ¼ tsp. of sugar and ¼ tsp. of salt. Let stand for about 10 minutes.
- Heat a small pot on medium heat. Add the pork and stir-fry for about 3 minutes.
- Add 1 cup of chicken broth, cover, and let it simmer for ten minutes.
- Remove from heat, mix in 2 tbsp. of bbq sauce, and set aside.
- The sweet potatoes should also be done by now. Remove from heat and drain.
- In a small bowl, combine the sweet potatoes with the sliver of butter and maple syrup. Mash well.
- Add in the frozen corn, ¼ cup of cheddar, a 2/3 portion of the scallions, and mix well.
- Lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray. The dishes I used were small, so I used two.
- Layer the bottom of the dish (or dishes) with the mashed sweet potato mixture.
- Add a middle layer of BBQ shaved pork on top of the mashed sweet potatoes.
- Top with 2 tbsp. of cheddar, the remaining scallions, followed by the panko. If you are using more than one baking dish, then divide the portions evenly.
- Bake at 350° for 30 minutes until the top is browned.
- Remove from heat and serve with fresh apple slices.
