Ingredients

  • 2.2kg Coles boneless pork shoulder

marinade

  • 1 tsp chinese 5 spice powder

  • 2cm piece fresh ginger, grated

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce

  • 3 tbsp hoisin sauce

  • 2 tbsp honey

  • 2 tbsp sesame oil

cabbage salad

  • 4 cups shredded savvoy cabbage

  • 1 cup coriander, chopped, plus extra sprigs to serve

  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tbsp Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 tsp sesame seeds, toasted

to serve

  • 2 cups short grain brown rice

  • 1 long red chilli, sliced

Method

  • Pre heat the oven to 170 degrees C.

  • Remove string from the pork shoulder and place into a deep-sided roasting tray.

  • Whisk together all the marinade ingredients with 1 cup of water. Pour the marinade mixture over the pork and cover with baking paper and foil to seal.

  • Roast in the oven for 3 hours, or until the pork is tender. Uncover the pork and baste with some of the pan juices. Place back in the oven and roast for a further 30 minutes to make the pork darker in colour and the sauce slightly reduced and sticky.

  • Meanwhile place the rice into a pot with 2 cups boiling water and place onto a medium heat. Cook until the water has been absorbed, then turn the rice down to very low, cover with a lid and steam for 15 minutes.

  • Mix together all the cabbage salad ingredients and season with sea salt and cracked black pepper. Place into a serving bowl and garnish with extra sesame seeds.

  • Serve Pork with steamed rice, cabbage salad and garnish with extra coriander sprigs and sliced chilli.
