Method

  1. Tip all the marinade ingredients into a shallow dish and stir to combine. Coat the pork in the marinade and, if you have time, leave for 1 hr or even better overnight. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
  2. Heat an ovenproof pan and take the pork out of the marinade. Brown on all sides, then baste over the rest of the marinade and roast the pork for 20 mins until cooked all the way through, basting with its juices every 5 mins or so. Serve the pork sliced with rice and your favourite steamed greens.

    I make this using pork loin steaks. I also omit the ginger as I don't like it. This is really easy to make and tastes delicious (even if I've only managed to marinate it for a very short amount of time).

    I wasn't too impressed with the flavour. On the plus side, it's quick and easy to make. I doubt I'll be making this again.

    Have made this 3 times and it's absolutely delicious.I marinated the pork over night and it was so tender.Some hot water added to the left over juices gives more of a sauce to pour over rice etc.

    This was surprisingly tasty and tender. Marinated the pork overnight - great flavour. Used Fan Grill function on the oven and the pork had nice burnt bits around the edges. Husband, who is not too keen on orange flavours, ate everything!

    Made this last night; I'd definitely recommend getting thick pork fillets rather than steaks. Tesco did two for £3.50 and both were delicious. For two hungry males, we had one fillet each (even though this recipe says one is enough for four people!) so bear that in mind. Marinated for about an hour. Greens were pak choi (lightly cooked in oil) along with long grain rice. I also combined it with half of the braised red cabbage recipe (http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/5052/chinese-braised-red-cabbage.jsp) and we both ate it all. I made a bit more marinade than prescribed because having too much is always better than too little. We ended up using it all up, pouring over the rice and meat. Overall, the dish was pretty simple but tasty. Not much to rave about but a nice dish all the same. Would definitely make it again.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this dish, as did my family. But I cooked it for 30 minutes not around 20 as stated in the recipe. Certainly I will make it again.
