How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 200°C.

  • Step 2: Oil the pork, season and set aside.

  • Step 3: Combine ginger, five spice, honey, tomato passata, oyster sauce, 2 tablespoons vinegar and 2 tablespoons soy.

  • Step 4: Heat a frypan over medium-high heat. Add the pork and sear, turning regularly 3-4 minutes until golden on all sides and then add the ginger mixture and cook 2-3 minutes until thickened.

  • Step 5: Remove and place pork on a paper-lined roasting tray and drizzle over the pan sauce and roast for 15 minutes until cooked through and sticky and rest, lightly covered in foil, for 5 minutes.

  • Step 6: Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a clean frypan over high heat and add onion, celery and capsicum and cook, tossing for 3-5 minutes, until charred and softened. Add remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar and 1 tablespoon soy and toss to combine. Remove from heat, rest for 5 minutes loosely covered with alfoil to keep warm and then slice pork and top with spring onions and sesame seeds and serve with steamed rice and capsicum mixture.
