Pork Steak with a Miso, Ginger and Orange Sauce, Broccoli and Stir Fried Beansprouts

I love orange and pork together it’s traditionally with duck but I think pork is just a good. The miso really compliments the orange. Its also a nice quick dinner too. I had run out of noodles as that’s what I was going to serve this with but I had a tin of beansprouts in the cupboard it was a revelation. They were really tasty and had loads of texture. This is quick, healthy and mega tasty.

Bring to the boil then reduce for 5 minutes. Add the corn flour again bring to a bubble so the sauce thickens. Finish ff with the butter so the sauce is nice and shiny. Taste and season if needed.
