CHINESE PORK KEBABS
🧑🧑🧒🧒 2 Servings 🧭 30 Mins 👌566 Cals
INGREDIENTS
1 lime
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 heaped tsp ginger paste
1 tsp chinese 5 spice powder
200g (7oz) diced pork
120g (4oz) jasmine rice
half a red onion
8 cherry tomatoes
half a green (bell) pepper
half a yellow (bell) pepper
150g (5oz) chopped pineapple
METHOD
STEP 1
Pre-heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/Gas 5.
Wash the lime in hot soapy water to remove the wax, then roll beneath the palm of your hand to release the juice. Zest the lime and set aside. Cut in two.
In a bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, ginger paste, chinese 5 spice powder and the juice of half the lime. Add the pork and toss to coat well.
STEP 2
Boil a half-full kettle.
Rinse the rice before adding to a large saucepan. Pour in approx 300ml of boiled water.
Bring to the boil and simmer for 10-12 minutes (lid on).
STEP 3
Peel the red onion and cut into chunks. De-seed the green and yellow peppers and chop into chunks.
STEP 4
Load up your pork skewers. Start with a cherry tomato, then alternate between pork, peppers, pineapple and onion. Finish with another cherry tomato. Repeat for all 4 skewers. Brush the kebabs with a little of the left over marinade. Cook on the top shelf of the oven for 10 minutes.
STEP 5
Turn the kebabs, brush again with marinade, then return to the oven for a further 10 minutes.
STEP 6
When the rice is cooked, stir in the lime zest and the remaining lime juice. Arrange the rice over your serving plates and top with two kebabs per person.
