蜜醬烤肉伴涼麵 Honey Sauce Roasted Pork with Ramen


雨,像不速之客,說來就來。
前天中午,衣服還在晾衣線上掛著,驟雨就隨烏雲趕到。

幾天來的暑氣翳悶,一下子洗滌淨盡。空氣中有說不出的清新氣息。

Rain, is like an unexpected visitor, it comes without any warnings.

Near noon the other day, the clothes were still pegged on the washing line, when the dark clouds moved in, and sure enough along came the down pour.

After the sudden shower, however the air is a lot cooler and feels more refreshing. 


七月的雨水,可以令人又愛又恨。

英國的夏天才只有那麼兩個月的陽光,暖暖的曬在皮膚上;那乾爽的感覺,足以軀除身心上整個冬季積存下來的寒濕感覺。

We seem to have a love - hate relationship with the July rain; as there are only 2 months of scorching hot sun in a year, the heat can dry up the dampness stored in our body and minds from the winter months.


下厨的時候,室內氣温已大幅度下降。披著薄毛衣,也仍感到手脚有點冰冷。决定煲個上湯,煮些麵,看吃過之後會不會暖起來。

When it was time to cook, the room temperature had dropped quite a lot, and even with a light cardigan,  it still felt rather chilly.  I decided to make a broth, and cook some noodles, in the hope that it would warm us up a little.




冰箱裏有塊前天做菜前割下留起的豬頸肉。就混了些自配的蜜汁醬料把它烤熟,切片;與温著的熱湯上桌佐麵。

There was a fillet of pork in the fridge, which I had cut and saved from a  big piece of pork collar meat the other day. I made a homemade honey roast sauce as a quick marinade to roast the pork, then sliced up and served with the noodles,  as well as the big pot of hot broth which is being kept warm on the table.

Honey Sauce Roasted Pork

Ingredients: 
  • A fillet of pork taken from a piece of pork collar about 500g
  • 1 tablespoon Hoi sin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Yellow bean sauce 
  • 2 tablespoons runny honey

  2. 預熱焗爐至 220C / 425F / Gas 7。
  3. 烤盤上鋪錫紙,醃過的豬柳在醬汁中再翻轉數次,取出放烤盤上,置焗爐中烤約 30 分鐘。期間每 10 分鐘反轉一次,塗上一層大碗內剩下的醬汁。
  4. 取出靜置 10 分鐘後才切片上桌。
Steps:
  1. Put all the marinade ingredients in a large bowl, place the pork fillet inside and toss well to coat, cover or put in the fridge and leave for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 220C / 425F / Gas7.
  3. Cover the roasting tray with foil, turn the pork a few times then put it on the tray, place in oven and roast for approximately 30 minutes. Turn it round and brush with the remaining sauce from the bowl every 10 minutes.
  4. Leave to rest for 10 minutes, then slice thinly to serve.  



在陰冷的天色中,吃著熱湯麵看雨,別有一番温暖的情趣和滋味。

Eating a hot bowl of noodle soup on a cold grey day, while watching the rain fall,  feels especially warm and comforting.

  1. Hi Jane,

    another great article! thanks
    so tempting to make this for our saturday dinner!

    i also like to make my own bbq pork with self mix-match marinate, so i am going to try out yours...

    just want to share with my little trick to roast the pork filet, when i was working in a hotel in toronto, my chef put the marinated pork filet in a long skewer and hang in a bar inside the oven, so the filet cook evenly on every part. at home, i lined my long shape cake mould with tin-foil, pork filet on bamboo skewer, so they don't sit on the tray and i don't need to turn the filet while cooking.

    1. Dear Catlux,

      First of all, thank you so much for your great tips and suggestion. May be I should have done it that way, but on days when I just content with not doing too much, that's how I cook the meat :)
      If I was doing a BBQ pork 义燒,I actually have a big 'S' shape hook that I could hook it onto one end of the pork fillet and hang it on the rail inside the oven, let the other end just touch the foil lined tray to catch any drips. In between the roasting time, I brush it with more honey to acheive a glossier appearance and lovely sweeter taste. Your method is great and useful too if you don't have a hook :)

      Hope you have a great weekend, and have a lot of fun cooking for your family ~~

  2. 海島型氣候造就陰冷多雨的天氣

    英國的陽光是可遇不可求的啊
    陰冷的天氣喝熱熱的湯特別溫暖!!~

    1. Dear 小咪,

      是啊!英國的氣候雖然大晴天的日子不多,
      但四季分明,每個氣節都有其美麗的特質。
      我知道就是英國人本身也經常投訴天氣的濕冷,
      我卻覺得好天起來,比任何地方更好,沒有陽光那些時候,有說不出的詩情畫意 :) ~~

    1. Dear Daisy,

      Although I don't mind the rain that much, but I know there are some people really dislike it, and can even be affected by it, I hope you're not the latter type :)

      It's very good for you two to have established a different role in your home cooking situations, so you'll never be missing a main course or a dessert when you both join force together :D

    1. Dear Kelly,

      Thank you ~ I have been so busy lately with both of our children coming home after their graduations, and helping them to find accommodation again took up most of my free time (not complaining as I really missed them). Sorry if my reply wasn't done promptly, but I have been reading your exciting posts and delicious recipes :)
      We haven't had a proper summer so far this year, but I prefer cooler weather too so don't have a problem with it as well. I love setting tables, I find it very therapeutic :) ~~

    1. Dear June,

      希望是因為你經常出外遊玩,飽嚐美食,想戒口清清腸胃,而不是健康問便好了。
      版面轉換一下,的確增加了新鮮感!我以後都會不時替它更新的了 :)

      我們沒去過挪威,聞名不如見,找天真要拜訪一下!
