Ingredients

For the Caramelised Pork Chops:

  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 1/3 cup rice syrup
  • 1 tsp five spice powder
  • 4 pork chops
  • 1 sprig spring onions sliced
  • 1 red long chilli seeds removed, sliced

For the Braised Greens:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 in leek white part only, sliced lengthwayshalf
  • 1 bunch boy choy sliced lengthwaysin halves
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds

To serve:

  • steamed rice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180C (160C fan forced, 350F, gas mark 4).
  • Mix together stock, soy sauce, rice syrup and five spice powder. Pour mixture into a baking dish large enough to hold the chops. Arrange chops in the dish and sprinkle over with sliced spring onions and chilli. Cover with foil and bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the pork chops are tender.
  • (If you would like to use the same pan for the greens, simply toss them with olive oil and add them on top of the chops for the last 15 minutes of cooking then sprinkle with sesame seeds to serve).
  • Heat oil in a medium-sized pan over medium high heat. Add leeks and allow to caramelise on both sides before adding the bok choy. Stir fry for another minute, then add water, cover and lower heat to low. Braise for about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds to serve.
  • Serve caramelised pork chops with steamed rice and braised greens. Garnish with extra spring onion and chilli, if you like.
