Preparation
Sear the pork
Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a large, high-sided pan, heat a heavy drizzle of oil on medium-high. Pat the pork dry with paper towel; season with ⅓ of the spices and pepper. Sear, 2 to 3 min. per side, until browned.
Make the BBQ sauce
While the pork sears, in a small bowl, combine the BBQ sauce with ⅔ of the garlic, ⅔ of the ginger and a heavy pinch of the remaining spices.
Mise en place
Remove the stem ends of the gai lan; cut in thirds crosswise. Roughly chop the cilantro.
Prepare the pork & vegetables
On a lined sheet pan, toss the gai lan, sweet peppers, and remaining ginger and garlic, with a drizzle of oil, the remaining spices and pepper. Arrange in a single layer. Transfer the pork to the middle of the pan and brush the BBQ sauce evenly over the pork.
Roast the pork & vegetables
Transfer the pan of pork* and vegetables to the oven and roast, 10 to 12 min., stirring the vegetables halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and the pork is golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest 5 min. before slicing against the grain.
Plate your dish
Divide the pork and vegetables between your plates. Garnish the pork with the sesame seeds and cilantro. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking pork to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
