Cooking steps

Roast the Potatoes

  • Drizzle with oil, then season with Thai spice, salt and pepper.
  • Spread out in a single layer.
  • Roast on the top shelf of the oven until fork tender, 25-35 mins.
Cook the Pork

  • Meanwhile, remove the pork from the packaging and pop into an oven dish.
  • Cover with foil and cook on the middle shelf of the oven for 25-30 mins. 
  • Once cooked, remove from the oven, add the gochujang and pull apart with the help of two forks. IMPORTANT: Ensure the pork is piping hot all the way through.
