Directions

To Make

1. Prepare your steamer by adding water to the base and turning the heat to high.
2. Preheat your grill for the final cooking of the pork.
3. Dry the pineapple rings on a paper towel, and discard the juice.
4. Mix all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
5. Cut the pork in half and then in half lengthways to speed up the cooking time.
6. Brush one side of the Pork with the marinade.
7. In an oven-proof pan (one that can go under the grill) heat a tiny bit of oil. Once the oil is hot add the pork with the marinade side down. At this point turn the heat down as the sauce is prone to sizzle and splatter.
8. Cook the pork for two minutes, brush the other side of the pork with the marinade, and turn. Repeat this process once more on both sides.
9. Add the bao buns to the steamer. Steam to manufacturer’s instructions (usually 8mins)
10. Place the pan under the grill, add the pineapple. Keep basting and turning the pork and the pineapple until your Pork has lovely burnt edges and the pineapple is nicely browned. Remove from heat and rest before slicing. Now is a good time to prepare the sides and garnishes.

To Assemble

1. Add some coleslaw, sliced pork, and two pieces of pineapple to a Bao bun. Top with chili, coriander, spring onions, and peanuts, drizzle with some freshly squeezed lime, and enjoy.
