If the sesame sauce starts to burn, turn down your heat slightly.


Ingredients

Sesame Pork

  • 1 pack pork sirloin steaks (at room temperature)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons runny honey

Noodle Salad

  • 200g vermicelli noodles
  • ½ bunch broccolini
  • 1 bag Japanese slaw
  • 1 pottle orange sesame dressing
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce

To Serve

  • 2 tablespoons coriander leaves and stalks
  • 1 sachet chopped peanuts

Steps

  1. Bring a full kettle to the boil. Pat pork dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Combine sesame oil, soy sauce and honey in a medium bowl, add pork, mix to combine and set aside for a few minutes to marinate.
  2. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook pork for about 3 minutes each side (depending on thickness), or until just cooked through. Set aside, covered with foil to rest.
  3. Place noodles and broccolini in a large heat-proof bowl, and cover with boiling water. Use a fork to separate strands and leave for 5 minutes then drain. Drizzle with a little oil to prevent sticking and use kitchen scissors to cut noodles in a few places to make them easier to eat.
  4. Add Japanese slaw, orange sesame dressing and fish sauce to bowl with noodles and broccolini. Toss to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  5. Roughly chop coriander and set aside. Thinly slice pork against the grain.
  6. To serve, divide noodle salad between bowls and top with sesame pork and a sprinkle of coriander and peanuts.
