This take on a classic takeaway option is a cinch to make.

2 tbs sunflower oil
2 tsp sesame oil
2 pork tenderloins
3cm piece ginger (15g), grated
1 tsp Chinese five spice
2 tbs honey
2 tbs tomato sauce
¼ cup (60ml) rice wine vinegar
¼ cup (60ml) soy sauce
1 onion, cut into eight wedges
1 red capsicum, sliced
1 green capsicum, sliced
Steamed rice, to serve
Sliced spring onions, to serve
Sesame seeds, to serve

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 200°C. Combine 1 tbs sunflower oil and the sesame oil and spread over pork. Season and set aside.
2.

Combine ginger, five spice, honey, tomato sauce, 2 tbs vinegar and 2 tbs soy.
3.

Heat a frypan over medium-high heat. Add the pork and sear, turning regularly 3-4 minutes until golden on all sides. Add the ginger mixture, then cook 2-3 minutes until thickened.
4.

Remove and place pork on a paperlined roasting tray. Drizzle over the pan sauce and roast for 15 minutes until cooked through and sticky. Rest, lightly covered in foil, for 5 minutes.
5.

Meanwhile, heat remaining sunflower oil in a clean frypan over high heat. Add onion and capsicum. Cook, tossing for 3-5 minutes, until charred and softened. Add remaining 1 tbs vinegar and 1 tbs soy. Toss to combine. Remove from heat.
6.

Slice pork and top with spring onions and sesame seeds. Serve with steamed rice and capsicum mixture.
