Method

Carve the pork into bite-sized pieces and serve with the greens.

Toss the vegetables with soy sauce and sesame oil.

Stir fry spring onions in hot oil, then add mangetout, bok choi, chilli, and water.

Reduce heat to 180°C for two hours, then roast at 230°C for 15 minutes.

Pour boiling water over the rind side of the pork several times.

Pierce the pork rind side thoroughly with a sharp fork or knife.

Roast pork rind-side up at 200°C over a water-filled pan for 20 minutes.

Rub the cooled spice mixture into the flesh side of the pork and dry overnight.

Stir fry the salt, peppers, five-spice, and sugar in a wok for three minutes.
