Gammon, egg and chips is the great English pub and transport-café dinner, on the menu from roadside diners on the A1 to Devon seaside pubs. A thick steak of cured pork gammon is grilled until the fat crisps, then topped with a fried egg or a ring of pineapple (or both), next to chunky chips and peas. Chef's tip: snip the fat around the edge every 2 cm before cooking so the steak stays flat.

Method

0/5 done

Step 1: Heat the oven to 425°F (400°F fan). Boil the chips for 5 minutes, drain and steam dry, toss with 2 tbsp of the 2 tbsp vegetable oil and ½ tsp salt.
10 min
Step 2: Roast the 1 ½ lb potatoes on a tray for 35–40 minutes, turning once, until crisp and golden.
40 min
Step 3: Snip the fat on the 2 pork gammon steaks, 1.5 cm thick at 2 cm intervals. Grill on high for 5–6 minutes a side, until the fat is golden and the meat reaches 145°F in the centre. Rest 3 minutes. A common mistake is cooking it longer, which makes cured pork tough and salty.
14 min
Step 4: Grill the 2 pineapple rings rings for the last 3 minutes beside the gammon. Cook the 7 oz frozen peas in boiling water for 3 minutes, drain and toss with the ½ oz butter.
4 min
Step 5: Fry the 2 eggs in the rest of the 1 tbsp vegetable oil over a medium heat until the whites are set and the edges lacy. Serve everything together.

Tteokgalbi

Tteokgalbi is rib meat chopped finely, pressed back into neat slabs and grilled, so it's soft enough to eat without struggling with a bone. Two places in South Jeolla claim it: Damyang, the bamboo county, where all-beef patties come with rice steamed in bamboo tubes, and Gwangju's Songjeong district, whose restaurant street near the railway station mixes beef with pork. This home version uses minced beef and pork, seasoned with soy, garlic and pear, then brushed with a soy and honey glaze as it cooks. Serve with rice, lettuce and a few banchan; leftovers are good cold in a lunchbox. Chef's tip: slap the mince against the bowl for a few minutes; it turns sticky and the patties hold together on the grill without any breadcrumbs.

Pork souvlaki

This is a pork recipe. Walk through any Greek town after dark, from Athens to Thessaloniki, and the smell of souvlaki stands drifts down the street; cubes of pork shoulder grilled on thin skewers are the country's favourite cheap supper, eaten standing up or at a plastic-table taverna. At home you marinate the meat in lemon, olive oil, garlic and dried oregano, grill it hard and fast, and pile it on warm pitta with tzatziki, tomato and red onion. Chef's tip: cut the pork into even 2.5 cm cubes and leave a little fat on; lean loin dries out, shoulder stays juicy over high heat.

Char siu

Hanging in long glossy strips in the windows of Guangzhou's siu mei shops, char siu is the roast pork Cantonese families pick up on the way home to put on rice, noodles or into steamed buns. The outside is lacquered, sweet and a little charred at the edges; the inside stays juicy, savoury and faintly scented with five-spice. Shoulder (pork butt) is the cut to use, because its marbling keeps the strips moist through a hot oven. Marinate it overnight in the fridge, roast it the next day and eat it warm with steamed rice and blanched greens, or cold in fried rice and noodle soups. Chef's tip: save the honey for the last ten minutes; brushed on at the start it burns black long before the pork is cooked.
