• Marinate refrigerated overnight or for 1 to 2 hours if time is short.
• Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and brush with the marinade.

CHINESE FIVE SPICE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Arrange the pork chops in a single layer in a non-metallic baking dish.
• Sprinkle on the five spice powder, then drizzle over the soy sauce and garlic oil.
• Using clean hands rub the mixture into the meat.
• Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 325°C/160°F.
• Uncover the dish and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the meat is cooked through and tender.
• Serve immediately with a green leafy vegetable or broccoli and plain boiled or steamed rice.

CHINESE-STYLE PORK FILLET WITH FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Mix the pork medallions with the soy sauce and five-spice; leave to marinate for 5 mins. Heat a large non-stick pan, then fry the pork for 2-3 mins on each side until cooked through. Pour in 150ml boiling water with the honey and bubble for 2 mins. Mix the cornflour with a little water, stir into the sauce and cook until it thickens and is glossy.
• Meanwhile, make the fried rice. Pour the egg into a non-stick frying pan to make an omelette, cooking for 2 mins on each side. Remove, roll up, and cut into thin strips. Add the rice to the pan with the peas and stir-fry for 3-5 mins until piping hot, then gently stir through the omelette with the spring onions and seasoning and cook for 1 min. Serve with the pork and a dash more soy sauce.
