• While pumpkin is roasting, roughly chop tomato. • Grate carrot. • In a small bowl, combine char siu paste, the brown sugar, the soy sauce and the water.

• Season pork loin steaks on both sides. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook pork steaks until cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side (depending on thickness). Transfer to a plate to rest.

TIP: Pork can be served slightly blushing pink in the centre.

• In a large bowl, combine a drizzle of the vinegar and olive oil. • Season, then add mixed salad leaves, tomato and carrot. Set aside.
