Ingredients
- 500g pork loin steaks
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- pinch cinnamon
- pinch five-spice powder
- 1 carrot , sliced into matchsticks
- 1 lime , juiced
- pinch golden caster sugar
- 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
- ½ cucumber , cut into matchsticks
- 16 soft lettuce leaves
- sweet chilli sauce , to serve
Instructions
- Make the marinade by mixing the soy with the honey, brown sugar, spices and 1 tbsp water. Put the pork in a shallow bowl, pour the marinade over, turning to make sure the steaks are well coated, then leave to marinate for at least 30 mins.
- Mix the carrot with the lime juice and caster sugar. Brush a piece of foil with oil and line the grill pan. Grill the pork steaks (or griddle if you prefer) for 4 mins each side. Keep an eye on them in case the sugar in the marinade starts to blacken.
- When cooked, cut the pork into strips.
- Put the lettuce leaves and the pork out on a board. Put the carrot and cucumber in bowls, then the fun begins making them into parcel's using the lettuce leaf. Serve with sweet chilli sauce, if you like.
