Instructions

To make the BBQ pork, combine all the marinade ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Allow to cook for 2-3 minutes until the sugar has dissolved then remove from the heat.
Pre-heat the oven to 180°c and line a baking tray with foil/parchment paper.
Place the pork on the prepared tray and brush with the marinade.
Place in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and generously baste with the marinade.
Place back in the oven and repeat this process until the pork is cooked to your liking (approximately 20-30 mins for pork fillet and 30-45 minutes for pork neck). When basting the pork, be generous and almost "press" the marinade onto the pork so it really clings and caramelises nicely).
When the pork is cooked to your liking, switch on the grill of your oven and allow the pork to caramelise for 3-5 minutes until the marinade is sticky and dark.
Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
Slice the pork and serve in lettuce cups with julienned vegetables, chilli and sesame seeds. Drizzle over extra BBQ sauce if needed.
Serve immediately.
