Ingredients

420 g pork fillet, trimmed and sliced into medallions

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp Chinese five-spice powder

2 tbsp honey

1 tbsp cornflour

1 egg, beaten

225 g cooked rice

200 g frozen peas, defrosted

2 spring onions, sliced

150 ml water

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine the pork medallions with soy sauce and five-spice powder. Let the mixture marinate for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

  2. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated pork and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F.

  3. Pour 150 ml of boiling water and the honey into the pan with the cooked pork. Bring the mixture to a gentle bubble and cook for 2 minutes.

  4. In a small bowl, mix the cornflour with a little cold water to form a smooth paste. Stir this mixture into the sauce in the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy and smooth.

  5. While the pork is cooking, pour the beaten egg into a separate non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook for 2 minutes to set the bottom, then carefully flip and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side until fully cooked through to 160°F. Remove from the pan, roll up gently, and cut into thin strips.

  6. In the same frying pan used for the omelette, add the cooked rice and defrosted peas. Stir-fry over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rice is piping hot and well combined.

  7. Gently fold the omelette strips and sliced spring onions into the fried rice. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring gently to avoid breaking up the omelette strips. Season with additional soy sauce to taste.

  8. Divide the fried rice among serving plates and top with the five-spice pork medallions and their glossy sauce. Serve immediately.
