1.Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Line an oven tray with baking paper.

2.Place pork in a shallow dish. Pour over char-sui sauce, tossing to coat. Cover and chill for 20 minutes.

4.Increase oven temperature to very hot, 220°C (200°C fan-forced). Baste and cook pork for a further 8-10 minutes until crisp. Cover loosely with foil and rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

5.To make dressing: In a jug, whisk together all ingredients.

6.Combine noodles, pork and remaining salad ingredients in a bowl. Pour over dressing, tossing well. Serve topped with peanuts and lime wedges.

This recipe would also work well with duck breast or prepared barbecued duck, but remember that the fat content will increase. Shredded carrot or daikon could also be added.
