Servings: 4
2 pounds pork fillet
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon crushed palm sugar
½ teaspoon red food colouring
1 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
2 teaspoons grated ginger
1 tablespoon sesame oil
Trim pork to remove any loose fragments of meat or fat. Pat dry with absorbent paper. Mix all the ingredients with half the sesame oil and brush over the pork. Let stand for 3 hours.
Place on a wire rack in a roasting pan. Roast in a very hot oven for about 18 minutes, until the surface is deeply coloured and crisp and the inside of the meat lightly cooked. Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining sesame oil. Stand for 10 minutes before slicing to serve.
