This looks delicious but I’m not a fan of Chinese 5 spice. Is there anything I could substitute for this or would it still be great if I left it out?
Thanks
Hi Kim, well it wouldn’t have the same intended flavour, but you could leave it out if that doesn’t bother you.
First time cooking a pork roast and this was fabulous! Great flavours, thanks for sharing this recipe.
Absolutely delicious. Will definitely be making again. Thank you Paulene for another great recipe.
Thank you so much Paulene for sharing your recipe. Absolutely loved the flavours, meat was melt in the mouth. 1st time I cooked this and i was not home. This dish will be a repeat dish. Another winning dish ?????
Cooked this meal tonight. Hubby said it tastes like Chinese meats so obviously I’ll be cooking again. Thank you Paulene for another great recipe.
