BBQ Pork (Char Siu) With Spring Onion Oil & Ginger Sesame Noodles

Juicy, succulent pork tenderloin mixed in a rich, sweet and sticky marinade then roasted in the oven to perfection resulting in the most melt-in-your-mouth tender and umami bursting char siu everrrrrr!!  

I used the @pureetyathome char siu marinade glaze, which had authentic flavours and added sesame oil, Shaoxing rice wine, soya sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, molasses, garlic and honey… this combination of spices transforms the tenderloin into such gorgeously sticky and savoury deliciousness.

Served up with some Hong Kong style spring onion oil drizzled on top and ginger & sesame noodles with some garlic braised Pak Choy, the most stunningly satisfying dinner!! 😍
