Steps

  1. Prep and cook pork Preheat oven to 220°C. Remove pork from plastic. Pat skin dry, season and cut into 3 pieces. Wet a piece of baking paper with cold water and squeeze out excess. Place baking paper on oven tray, add pork and roast on middle oven rack for 15 minutes. Switch to grill. Grill pork for 12-15 minutes, until skin is crispy. Watch pork while grilling to ensure it doesn’t burn.

Once boiling, cover with a lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and steam, still covered, for 8 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.

  5. Serve rice topped with slaw, pork, mint and chilli salsa.
