Sweet Soy Pork with Sugar Snap Pea and Asparagus Salad

Ingredients:

Sweet Soy Pork with Sugar Snap Pea & Asparagus Salad

200g sugar snap peas, trimmed, then each cut into 3 julienne strips lengthways
1 bunch asparagus ends trimmed, cut into 4cm pieces
4 x 150g (approx.) pork chops or pork cutlets, trimmed
Olive oil spray
2 tablespoons (40mL) Kikkoman Sweet Soy Sauce
1 Lebanese cucumber, halved lengthwise, then thinly sliced
1 cup fresh coriander leaves
1 tablespoon (20 mL) vegetable oil
1 tablespoon (20mL) fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon (20mL) fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon (20mL) rice vinegar
1 extra tablespoon (20mL) Kikkoman Sweet Soy Sauce

Method:

Sweet Soy Pork with Sugar Snap Pea & Asparagus Salad

In a saucepan of simmering water cook sugar snap peas and asparagus for 1-2 minutes or until bright green and just tender but still crisp. Refresh under cold running water to stop cooking and to retain colour. Drain well
Place sugar snaps, asparagus, cucumber and coriander in a bowl. Set aside
Heat a non-stick fry pan over medium heat. Spray with olive oil. Add the pork chops and cook for 4-5 minutes each side for medium (depending on the thickness) or until done to your liking
Just before removing the pork, add the Sweet Soy Sauce and turn chops to coat on both sides. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil
In a small jug, whisk together the vegetable oil, lime and orange juices, rice vinegar and the Sweet Soy Sauce
Divide the salad mixture equally among 4 plates. Place pork chop on top, then drizzle over the dressing
Serve with extra Sweet Soy Sauce in a small bowl if desired

Tips & Hints:

Variation: substitute snow peas for sugar snap peas if desired, Substitute Kikkoman Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce

Why Martin Benn chooses Kikkoman

Video Desc:
When it comes to flavour, there's no doubt Martin Benn is a chef who knows his stuff. His restaurant, Sepia focuses on seafood, and reflects his training in French cooking as well as a Japanese influence following his years with Tetsuya.
"Kikkoman Soy Sauce is naturally brewed and brings taste to whatever you're cooking,” Martin says. "Many other soy sauce brands are chemically enhanced to give the flavour, which leads to unbalanced and dominating flavours. Kikkoman Soy Sauce also has a depth of colour that complements the richness of soups and stocks.”
Martin also uses Kikkoman Soy Sauce in his cooking as a replacement for salt. "It's like using a liquid seasoning so you don't have the granulated texture so you are able to balance a dish much more easily.”
