Sticky hoisin pork fillet with sesame greens & noodles
SERVES 4 PREP 10 mins COOK 35 mins EASY
4 tbsp hoisin sauce, plus extra
to serve
1 pork illet (about 400g), fat and
sinew trimmed
4 egg noodle nests
3 tsp sesame oil
300g kale, spring greens or swiss
chard, chopped
100g spring onions, sliced 200g frozen podded edamame
beans or peas, defrosted
1 tbsp sesame seeds
2 tsp low-salt soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/ gas 7. Brush the hoisin all over the pork and transfer to a foil-lined baking tray. Roast, basting every 10 mins, for 25-30 mins until cooked through. Remove from the oven and leave to rest for 5 mins.
2 Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles following pack instructions, drain, then toss with 1 tsp sesame oil to stop them sticking together. Heat the remaining sesame oil in a wok or large frying pan, and fry the greens for 4 mins, adding a splash of water to help soften the stalks. Add most of the spring onions and all the edamame beans. Fry for another 2 mins until the greens are tender, then stir in the sesame seeds, soy sauce and rice vinegar. Toss everything to coat well.
3 Cut the pork into thick slices and serve with the noodles, sesame greens and remaining spring onions sprinkled over the top. Serve with more hoisin sauce, if you like.
