Elevate Asian greens with spiced pork by adding plump, sweet lychees for a unique and delicious twist.
Ingredients:
  • 55g (1/2 cup) walnut halves
  • 2 (about 400g) pork fillets
  • 3 tsp Chinese five spice
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) soy sauce
  • 1 x 100g pkt Asian baby greens
  • 12 lychees, peeled, halved
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) peanut oil
  • 1 garlic clove, extra, crushed
Instructions:
  • In a small non-stick frying pan over medium heat, toast walnuts for 3 minutes, tossing occasionally, until fragrant. Remove from heat, chop coarsely, and set aside.
  • In a large glass bowl, place the pork fillets. Mix five spice, garlic, and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce in a jug, then pour over the pork. Ensure the pork is coated evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour to marinate, remembering to turn the pork occasionally.
  • Preheat a barbecue grill or chargrill to medium-high. Remove pork from marinade and set marinade aside. Grill the pork, brushing with marinade occasionally, for 8 minutes on each side or until juices run clear when pierced with a skewer. Set aside on a plate to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
  • After letting the pork rest, toss Asian baby greens, lychees, and walnuts in a large bowl. Drizzle peanut oil, extra garlic, and the rest of the soy sauce over the salad, gently mix together, then season with salt to taste.
  • Slice the pork thickly against the grain and combine in a bowl with the lychee and Asian baby greens salad. Toss well to mix everything together and serve right away.
