Pork Soup in yuzu and sesame
Method

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the yuzu and sesame elements, and pat the pork dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Turn up the heat and add the pork. Stir-fry over the highest heat, keeping everything moving, until just cooked and glossy.

Stir in the soy sauce and the rest of the yuzu and sesame flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the leek along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
