Vickys 5 Spice Pork w Sweet & Sour Apricot Sauce, GF DF EF SF NF instructions

1. To make the Chinese Five Spice powder, toast the ingredients in a dry pan, swirling them gently around until they become fragrant then let cool.
2. Add to a spice grinder or bash with a pestle and morter until powdered.
3. Store in a small jar out of the sunlight. I like to use the empty cinnamon stick jar.
4. Rub each side of the pork with the oil, sprinkle the 5 spice over both sides, rub in, cover and set aside in the fridge to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
5. For the sauce, mix all the ingredients together in a saucepan and let simmer for 5 minutes. Taste and add more vinegar as required.
6. Fry or grill the pork steaks for a couple of minutes on each side until cooked through.
7. Serve with some boiled rice and the sauce spooned over.
8. The sauce goes very well with chicken and duck too.
