Five-Spice Pork Chops with Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Ginger and Garlic
Introduction from Rukmini Iyer
If you travel through China, one of the nicest things you can buy from a streetside stall is a hot, roasted sweet potato. They go beautifully with garlic and ginger, and are a perfect complement to these five-spice pork steaks.
Ingredients
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C fan/220°C/gas 7. Mix the sweet potato chunks in a roasting tin with the garlic, ginger, star anise, sesame oil and 1 teaspoon of sea salt, then transfer to the oven and roast for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, rub the pork steaks all over with the five-spice, another teaspoon of sea salt and the sesame oil. Once the sweet potato has had 20 minutes, pop the steaks on top, return to the oven and roast for 20–25 minutes at 180°C fan/200°C/gas 6 until the pork is cooked to your liking.
Scatter over the finely sliced spring onions, and season with soy sauce to taste.
Note: If you fancy a green alongside, quarter some choi sum or pak choi, toss with a little sesame oil, then chuck into the roasting tin for the last 5–7 minutes.
