Serves:4
Preparation time:5 mins
Cooking time:30 mins
Marinating time:Marinate meat for an hour or overnight
Difficulty:Easy
Ingredients:
- 4 pork loin chops
- 150 grams brown sugar
- 150 ml cold water
- 100 ml Chang's Fish Sauce
- 50 ml Chang's Tamari Light Soy Sauce
- 2 pieces of star anise
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 3 ginger cloves, crushed
- Cooking oil for frypan
- 1 bunch broccolini
Method:
- Heat the brown sugar and 50g of water in a medium sized saucepan over medium heat, stirring as the sugar dissolves.
- Bring to a low boil, stirring often as the sugar bubbles to caramelise. When the mixture thickens and changes to a lighter, golden brown colour, bring off the heat and add the remaining water, soy sauce, fish sauce, star anise, garlic and cinnamon stick.
- Bring back to boil and simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavours to infuse.
- If you have time, marinate pork loins in this mixture for at least one hour or ideally overnight. Otherwise this can still work as a glaze if cooking immediately.
- Heat oil in a frypan over medium high heat and cook the pork loins for 4 minutes on each side. Brush any remaining sauce over the meat while cooking.
- In a medium saucepan bring salted water to boil then blanch your broccolini for 1-2 minutes until bright green.
