Method
Step 1
Combine the garlic, ginger, fish sauce, soy sauce, star anise, sugar, brown onion and 1 cup (250ml) of the coconut water in a large ceramic dish. Add the pork and turn to coat. Cover and place in the fridge, turning occasionally, for 2 hours or overnight to marinate.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 200°C. Heat a large oiled frying pan over high heat. Remove pork from marinade, reserving the marinade. Cook the pork, rind-side down, for 5 mins or until golden brown.
Step 3
Place pork in a roasting dish. Pour over reserved marinade and remaining coconut water. Roast, basting occasionally with marinade, for 1 hour or until pork is cooked to your liking.
Step 4
Sprinkle pork with spring onion and coriander. Serve with buk choy and rice.
