Serves 4 – Prep 30’ – Cooking 20’ – A little effort
Start by mixing all the salad dressing ingredients in a little bowl.
Chop the iceberg lettuce and set aside.
Put the pork loin medallions into a plastic food bag and flatten by gently bashing with a rolling pin.
Put the flour and breadcrumbs onto separate plates. Beat the egg and put onto a deep plate.
Season the pork medallions with salt and pepper, dip into the flour, the beaten egg and finally the breadcrumbs. Set aside.
Make the sauce: chop the onions, crush the garlic cloves and put into a saucepan with two tablespoons of sunflower oil. Add the grated ginger and fry for 5 minutes until the onions are soft. Add the curry powder and flour, stir and add the chicken stock, honey and soy sauce.
Cook on a medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. When the sauce has finished cooking, blend with a hand blender for a smooth consistency.
Meanwhile, cook the rice according to package instructions.
Heat 4 tablespoons sunflower oil in a large frying pan and fry the breaded pork medallions for 4 minutes on each side.
Drain the rice and serve in mounds on 4 plates.
Cut the pork medallions into strips, place next to the rice, spoon over some sauce.
Serve with the salad and salad dressing, and decorate with a pinch of sesame seeds.
TIP:
Don’t worry if you don’t have a hand blender, the sauce is just as good chunky. Also, you can prepare the sauce ahead and freeze it or keep in the fridge for two days.
