Ingredients
for the BBQ sauce
- 1/3 cup dark brown sugar I used muscavado
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/3 cup hoisin sauce
- 1/3 cup oyster sauce
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 kg pork neck cut into lengths of around 10cm wide / 1kg pork fillet/tenderloin
for the lettuce wraps
- baby gem lettuce washed and separated
- 2 cups cucumber julienned
- 2 cups carrot julienned
- 1 cup radish thinly sliced
- sesame seeds
- chilli optional, finely chopped
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.
