𝗣𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗽𝘀 & 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗲  This recipe takes inspiration from Thai and Indonesian flavours. A wonderful infusion of sweet, sour, salty, umami, citrusy and smoky flavours ! Nam Jim marinated pork chop is the star of this dish, but the crisp salad and the Balinese, shallot-chilli salsa brings freshness and acidity to cut through that porky richness. Salted caramel peanuts provides a great mouthfeel, bringing the textural drama to this dish. Black garlic fried rice completes  the meal. Pick up a bottle of your favourite wine and cook up a storm to beat lockdown blues at home.
