    Rub this on the pork, put the pork in a plastic bag and marinate in the fridge, minimal 4 hours but preferably overnight.

    To be on the safe side, put the pork in the bag in a dish, once my bag leaked and the fridge was orange!

    Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking, there will be juices now in the bag, you can use them for basting if you want.
  5. 5
    Heat up a grill pan, no oil, and fry 7 to 8 minutes on each side, longer if you want the pork more well done, it will also depend on the thickness of the pork.
