Seared Pork & Kewpie Mayo Potatoes
with a quick pickled cucumber salad
Butter makes everything taste better, Chef! And this juicy pork loin chop is no exception. Served with cucumber pickled in rice wine vinegar and a sweetener with chilli flakes, oven-roasted potato, and a creamy kewpie mayo. Garnished with black sesame seeds (toasted, if you prefer, for that fancy Chef’s touch!).

HOT Potato
Coat the Potato in oil and season. Air fry at 200°C until crispy, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, roast in a 200°C hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
SPICY Cucumber PICKLE
In a bowl, combine the rice wine vinegar, 1 [2]|#7DA0D7 tbsp of sweetener (to taste), 1 tbsp of water, and the chilli flakes (to taste). Mix until fully combined. Toss through the Cucumber and set aside. In a seperate bowl, loosen the mayo with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Set aside.
BUTTER-BASTED PORK
Pat the pork chop/s dry with paper towel. Using a pair of kitchen scissors or a knife, make a few shallow incisions along the fat to prevent the meat from buckling during frying. Coat in oil, and season. Place a pan over medium-high heat. When hot, sear the pork chop, fat-side down, until the fat is rendered and crispy, for 3-5 minutes. Then, fry until cooked through, for 2-3 minutes per side. In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter.
TA-DA!
Plate up the pork and serve the Cucumber alongside. Pile up the potatoes, drizzle it all with the mayo, and finish with a scattering of sesame seeds.
