Steps

  • Crush peppercorns and star anise in a mortar, then place in a large sealable bag.
  • Add pork and remaining marinade ingredients to the bag and massage into the meat.
  • Seal the bag and marinate the pork for at least 24 hours in the fridge.
  • Preheat oven to 160°C and roast pork in a tin for 1.5 to 1.75 hours until crisp.
  • Dice 100g of the cooked pork into 1cm cubes and set aside.
  • Whisk eggs with sesame oil and salt, then cook as a flat omelette in a wok with oil.
  • Roll the omelette, slice into 1cm strips, and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Heat oil in the wok, then sauté drained shrimp, diced pork, and garlic for 45 seconds.
  • Add ground peppercorns, five-spice powder, and rice, then stir-fry for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in prawns, spring onions, white pepper, and soy sauce, then fold in omelette strips.
