Description
Impress family and friends with this sticky Asian pork with plums recipe. Tender meat paired with crispy crackling and a sweet, spiced sauce makes this meal a winner.
Instruction tip
Cooking tip:To cook the pork rind in this recipe, place it onto a baking paper-lined baking tray, then cook it on the oven shelf below the pork.
Method
Step 1 of 5
Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C. Line a deep-sided baking dish with baking paper. Combine stock, cooking wine, kecap manis, sugar, star anise, cinnamon, ginger and chilli in a deep frying pan. Using a vegetable peeler, peel 6 thin strips from orange. Juice orange and add juice to pan. Stir over medium heat for 2 minutes or until sugar dissolves and mixture boils. Simmer for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Cool slightly.
Step 2 of 5
Meanwhile, remove netting from pork and remove rind with a sharp knife. Place pork on dish, tucking into a rectangular shape. Pour sauce over pork. Cover with a large sheet of baking paper and then foil to cover tightly. Bake for 1 1/2 hours.
Step 3 of 5
Turn pork over, re-cover and bake for a further 1 hour. Remove cover, add plums to pan and return to oven for 30 minutes or until plums have softened and pork is golden.
Step 4 of 5
Transfer cooking liquid to a saucepan and bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 15 minutes or until reduced by half.
Step 5 of 5
Transfer pork to a serving platter with plums, and garnish with coriander. Serve with crackling (see tip) and baby pak choy.
