500g (1Ib 2oz) Simon Howie pork fillet

6tbsp dark soy sauce

2tbsp chinese cooking wine or sweet sherry

1tsp chinese 5 spice powder

2.5cm piece root ginger, peeled and grated

4tbsp caster sugar

  4. As soon as the pork is cooked, remove it from the oven and brush liberally with the sugar syrup and leave to stand for 10 minutes.
  5. To serve, slice the pork thinly and arrange on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh pepper and chives. Serve warm or cold.
