Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons char siu or hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons spicy black bean sauce
  • 2 1/2-pound pork fillets
  • vegetable oil
  • 2 bunches choy sum
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 3 green onions (scallions)

Directions
  1. Place the char siu and black bean sauces in a bowl and mix to combine. Preheat a char-grill pan or barbecue over high heat. Brush the pork with oil and cook, turning occasionally, for 15 minutes. Brush with the sauce mixture and cook for a further 1-2 minutes or until caramelized and cooked through.
  2. Place the choy sum in a large saucepan of salted boiling water and cook for 4 minutes or until tender. Drain, transfer to a bowl, add the oyster sauce, soy sauce and garlic and toss to combine. Slice the pork and place on a serving plate with the choy sum. Sprinkle with the onion and sesame seeds to serve.
