Method

  1. Preheat the grill to high. Rub both sides of the pork with the vegetable oil and place on a baking tray. Grill for 5-6 mins each side until lightly golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate to rest for 5 mins, then cut into 1cm slices. 
  2. Meanwhile, make the dressing. Put the cornflour in a small saucepan and slowly whisk in the soy sauce and 50ml water, followed by the ginger and honey. Set over a medium heat and simmer for 10 mins until thickened and glossy, then remove from the heat and stir through the lime juice and zest, coriander stalks and chilli. 
  3. Cook the rice noodles to packet instructions. Toss together with the other salad ingredients and coriander leaves, then arrange on 2 plates. 
  4. Top with the slices of pork and scatter with the peanuts, if using. Drizzle over the dressing and serve with the lime wedges for squeezing over, if you like.

*To make this dish gluten free, swap the soy sauce for tamari.
