This Asian-inspired pork dish is so quick and easy, it’s the perfect mid-week meal. Feel free to mix up the mushrooms and greens – button mushrooms and broccolini or snow peas work just as well.

Ingredients

600g pork fillets

1 1/2 tbs sesame oil

2 tbs tamari (or soy sauce)

1 1/2 tbs lemon juice

1/4 tsp chilli flakes

1 garlic clove, crushed

70g cashews

400g assorted mushrooms, sliced

1 bunch bok choy, rinsed & halved

2 tsp sesame seeds, toasted

Method

1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Rub pork with 2 tsp of sesame oil and combine remaining oil with tamari, lemon juice, chilli flakes and garlic and set aside. Roast cashews in oven for 5-8 minutes, or until golden, and set aside to cool.

2 Sear pork in hot frypan for a few minutes, browning all over. Brush pork liberally with some of the sauce and bake for 10 minutes, then cover and allow to rest in a warm place for 5 minutes before slicing.

3 Meanwhile, add mushrooms to hot frypan and cook for a minute. Add bok choy, cover and cook for another minute, or until greens just begin to wilt. 

4 Remove vegetables, add remaining sauce to frypan and simmer for a few minutes to reduce and thicken, while you slice the pork. 

5 Divide vegetables between two plates, top with pork, drizzle with sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped cashews.
