Honey Glazed Five-Spice Pork Medallions with Pea Fried Rice

1. Marinate the Pork

In a mixing bowl, combine the pork medallions with soy sauce and five-spice powder. Let the pork marinate for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.

2. Cook the Pork

Place a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the marinated pork and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and fully cooked. In the same pan, add 150ml of boiling water and honey, letting it simmer for 2 minutes. In a small bowl, dilute the cornflour with a splash of water, then stir it into the pan. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens and takes on a glossy appearance.

3. Prepare the Fried Rice

While the pork is cooking, heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour in the beaten egg and cook for 2 minutes on each side, forming an omelette. Remove the omelette, roll it up, and slice into thin ribbons. In the same pan, add the cooked rice and defrosted peas, stir-frying for 3-5 minutes until thoroughly heated. Fold in the egg ribbons and sliced spring onions, seasoning to taste, and cook for an additional minute.
