Sticky and sweet Cantonese-style roasted pork meets boiled broccolini for a simple yet delicious dish. Amp up the portion size for a glorious platter enough to feed the family, or keep it small and serve with rice for a flavourful weeknight meal. Don’t forget a splash of oyster sauce after the pork and veggies have been plated – it’s the one ingredient you need to tie it all together!

- 1 kg pork neck (scotch fillet roast)
- ⅓ cup (120 g) char siu sauce
