I get asked quite often why I like to cook. The first reason I give is normally because I like to eat. I am Thai and food is a big factor in our culture. We greet each other with hello followed by 'have you eaten? When guests turn up at your house it's safe to assume that they will expect to be fed.

The second reason is that as I grew up in the Northeastern part of Thailand, the poorest region, food was always hard to come by. We weren't hungry as there was always rice, but it was difficult finding something to go with rice. Now I do have ingredients to go with rice, I want to cook!

Ginger and Honey Pork หมูอบน้ำผึ้ง.



Ginger and Honey Pork หมูอบน้ำผึ้ง.

This is one of my younger daughter's favourite dinners. She has a sweet tooth a bit like her mummy. She would only have a couple of pork pieces but will instead ask for the sweet sauce to mix through her rice. I normally add a couple of tablespoons of water to create the extra sauce. Serve this super easy and fuss free sweet pork along side some fiery dishes with rice.

In a deep oven tray, put in
-500g pork fillet, with
-2 clove crushed garlic,
-3cm sliced ginger,
-3tbsp honey,
-2tbsp soy sauce,
-2tbsp oyster sauce,
-2tbsp water,
-2tsp sesame oil,
-salt/pepper.
Mix well to combine. Leave to marinade for 30 minutes.

Oven 210c fan forced.

Bake 35 minutes.
Leave to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
