  • 20.00 ml finely grated fresh ginger
  • 1 stalk lemongrass, white part only, finely chopped
  • 40.00 ml finely chopped coriander roots
  • 60ml coconut milk
  • 60ml fish sauce
  • 3 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 (about 300g each) pork fillets
  • 1 baby wombok (Chinese cabbage), finely shredded
  • 2 carrots, peeled, cut into matchsticks
  • 250.00 ml coriander leaves
  • 250.00 ml Vietnamese mint leaves
  • 80g peanuts
  • 21.00 gm lime juice
  • 8.00 gm brown sugar
  • 12.00 gm black sesame seeds
  • 12.00 gm sesame seeds, toasted
  • Steamed brown rice, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large glass or ceramic bowl, mix together garlic, ginger, lemongrass, coriander root, coconut milk, 2 tablespoonfuls of fish sauce, and 2 teaspoonfuls of sesame oil. Add the pork and coat well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours to marinate.
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C. Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Drain the pork from the marinade, then cook in the pan for 5 minutes until nicely browned. Transfer the pork to an oven tray and roast for 10 minutes until cooked to your liking. Rest covered with foil for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Combine wombok, carrot, coriander, mint, and peanuts in a large bowl. Whisk lime juice, sugar, remaining fish sauce, and remaining sesame oil together. Drizzle dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  • Serve the salad in individual bowls, top with thick slices of pork, sprinkle with a mix of black and white sesame seeds, and serve promptly with optional brown rice on the side.
