Asian Pork & Greens
SERVES 2 | PREP 10mins | COOK 15mins
This Asian-inspired pork dish is so quick and easy, it’s the perfect mid-week meal. Feel free to mix up the mushrooms and greens – button mushrooms and broccolini or snow peas work just as well.
Ingredients
- 1 350g pork fillets
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbs tamari (or soy sauce)
- 1 tbs lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp chilli flakes
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 40g cashews
- 300g assorted mushrooms, sliced
- 1 bunch bok choy, rinsed & halved
- 1 tsp sesame seeds, toasted
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Rub pork with 1 tsp of sesame oil and combine remaining oil with tamari, lemon juice, chilli flakes and garlic and set aside. Roast cashews in oven for 5-8 minutes, or until golden, and set aside to cool.
- Sear pork in hot frypan for a few minutes, browning all over. Brush pork liberally with some of the sauce and bake for 10 minutes, then cover and allow to rest in a warm place for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Meanwhile, add mushrooms to hot frypan and cook for a minute. Add bok choy, cover and cook for another minute, or until greens just begin to wilt.
- Remove vegetables, add remaining sauce to frypan and simmer for a few minutes to reduce and thicken, while you slice the pork.
- Divide vegetables between two plates, top with pork, drizzle with sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped cashews.
