Ingredients

3cm fresh ginger, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
½ tsp chinese five-spice powder
½ tsp ground white pepper
2 tsp tomato purée
2 tsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tbsp shaoxing wine
4 tbsp hoisin sauce
2 tsp sesame oil
4 tbsp honey
2 x 300g pieces pork neck fillet (see Easy Swaps)

Method

Mix all the ingredients together (except the pork) in a large bowl. Add the pork and massage the marinade into it. Cover and put in the fridge for at least 1 hour (or ideally overnight) to marinate.
Heat the oven to 160°C/140°C fan/gas 3. Put the pork on a grill tray, reserving the marinade for basting. Roast for 1-1½ hours until well charred on the outside, turning once and basting intermittently with the sauce to get a caramelised finish on the meat. The slower the cooking process, the more succulent the meat will become. Slice and serve with rice and greens.
