Chao Shao Quick Roast Pork with Asian Coleslaw

 The longer you marinade the pork the more tender it becomes. Be sure to use a good quality honey as this flavour does hum in the background. A lovely mid week dish due it its ease, yet can cater for large groups as well which makes it a good staple for the repertoire. A healthy, easy and quick dish.

Would be great served with an Asian coleslaw – see recipe below.

"This is a recipe from my mom, a great pork fillet treat"– Rebecca Allan.

Asian Coleslaw

Picture: Asian Coleslaw

Toss shredded/grated cabbage, carrot, spring onions with cooked and refreshed vermicelli - chopped a little with some scissors to make it easier to combine. Toss in a dressing of 2 tbsp each of sugar, rice vinegar and fish sauce and ¼ cup lime juice, throw in some pressed garlic and diced fresh chilli for extra punch if you like, and finish with a splash of sesame oil over the finished dish.
