The day before: make the dressing.

Put the sugar and lime juice in a pan with 1 tbsp water and bring to the boil to dissolve the sugar.

Add the chilli and coriander and stir well, then pulse in a blender until smooth.

Tip into a bowl, then stir in the sesame oil, fish sauce, soy sauce and sesame seeds to make a dressing.

Cover and chill until needed.

Two hours before serving: heat a griddle pan.

Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C.

Brush the pork with oil and griddle on all sides for a few minutes until seared.

Cool, thinly slice against the grain of the meat.

Tip into a bowl and pour over half the dressing.

To serve: toss the remaining salad ingredients in a bowl with the remaining dressing.

Pile on to a platter, top with the pork slices and spoon over any juices.
