Sweet & Sour Pork, recipe by Hayden Quinn

Ingredients

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C fan-forced. Combine 1 tbs sunflower oil and the sesame oil and spread over pork. Season and set aside.
  2. Combine ginger, five-spice, honey, tomato sauce, 2 tbs vinegar and 2 tbs soy.
  3. Heat a frying pan over medium–high heat. Add the pork and sear, turning regularly 3–4 minutes until golden on all sides. Add the ginger mixture, then cook 2–3 minutes until thickened.
  4. Remove and place pork on a paperlined roasting pan. Drizzle over the pan sauce and roast for 15 minutes until cooked through and sticky. Rest, lightly covered in foil, for 5 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, heat remaining sunflower oil in a clean frying pan over high heat. Add onion and capsicum. Cook, tossing for 3–5 minutes, until charred and softened.
  6. Add remaining 1 tbs vinegar and 1 tbs soy. Toss to combine. Remove from heat.
  7. Slice pork and top with spring onions and sesame seeds. Serve with steamed rice and capsicum mixture.
