Place pork loin steaks in a bowl and toss with olive oil, Five spice and salt and pepper. If your child prefers, you can reserve a piece of pork for them without the Five Spice. Set aside at room temperature.
4 pork loin steaks, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon five spice, Salt and pepper
Finely slice lettuce. Slice cucumber in half lengthwise, then scoop out seeds and slice into half moons. Defrost edamame beans by putting them into a small container, pouring hot water over and draining beans. Roughly chop coriander. Peel, deseed and slice avocado. Set aside.
1 baby cos lettuce, 1 cucumber, 100 g frozen edamame beans, ½ bunch coriander, 1 avocado
Juice lime into a jar or bowl and combine with 1.5 tablespoons sesame oil and 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce. Set aside.
1 lime, Sesame oil, Soy sauce
Crack eggs into another bowl, add a teaspoon of soy sauce, and gently whisk to combine.
2 eggs, Soy sauce
Place a frying pan over high heat, add a teaspoon of sesame oil to the pan and then once hot, pour egg mixture in a thin layer. You may have to do this more than once, depending on how many serves you are making and how big your frying pan is.
Sesame oil
Once the egg has cooked around the edges (forming a “frill” - this should only take a minute or two), start to roll the egg from one edge in on itself, until you have a long roll of egg. Remove from the pan and set aside. Repeat this step if you have more egg to cook.
Return the pan to the heat, add 2 teaspoons sesame oil and cook the pork, frying for 2 minutes each side (depending on thickness). Meanwhile, heat microwave rice.
Sesame oil, 450 g microwave rice
To serve, create a bed of rice, then top with chopped lettuce, cucumber, coriander and drained edamame beans. Slice egg roll and pork and serve over the salad, then drizzle over the dressing.
To serve little ones, add their components separately and skip the dressing.
