What really pulls this meal together perfectly is the asian slaw. Shredded cabbage, carrot and red onion in a wonderful dressing.
Dressing
2 tbs grape seed oil
1tbs fish sauce
1tbs light soy sauce
1 red chilli chopped
1tsp sesame oil and 1tbs of sherry vinegar.
Mix and allow to stand covered in the refrigerator while you prepare everything else. Sprinkle lightly toasted sesame seeds onto the salad just before serving.
Woolworths sells ready smoked pork fillets which I just rub with salt, pepper and olive oil (tonight I added chilli flakes) and sear in a pan on all sides before placing in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes - this is specific to my crazy oven which has never really bothered to reach the exact temperature on the dial. Once rested, slice the fillets thinly and put back into the pan with the juices and some Chinese barbecue sauce and coat well.
I decided to make my own Chinese pancakes today - not convinced I'll do this again - from a recipe I found on Epicurious.com. Half of them came out deliciously tender and perfect for wrapping (the second batch), the other (first) half just brought back many memories of many an attempt to master the art of roti making, some too crispy to fold and others worthy of medieval weaponry.
Place all the components on the table with a bowl of thinly sliced spring onions and let everyone help themselves assembling their pancakes.
