Cooking Instructions

  1. Combine the honey, soya sauce, Thai 7 spice, 2 tablespoons of the rice wine vinegar, fish sauce and garlic.
  2. Add the pork, cover and leave to marinade for a few hours or overnight.
  3. For the pickled vegetables, mix the 50 ml rice wine vinegar, sugar and salt.
  4. Add the vegetables, leave to pickle for a couple of hours, then squeeze out the excess liquid. They will keep overnight, but the colour will alter slightly.
  5. When ready to cook the pork, shake off the excess marinade and transfer it to a saucepan.
  6. Boil the marinade on the hob until it has a thick, syrupy consistency.
  7. Meanwhile, fry the pork for 1 minute on each side until charred and cooked through.
  8. To serve, spread the cream cheese onto the rusticata or baguette halves, top with slices of pork, a drizzle of the reduced marinade, pickled vegetables and herbs.
