Barbecued Roast Pork Tenderloin (Char Shui)
This is a very easy yet tasty way to prepare pork tenderloin, you can serve this hot or cold and any leftovers are great chopped up in a sandwich the next day with a little BBQ sauce. I served ours over vegetable fried rice for very flavoursome dinner. It is also a very low carb recipe so if you served it with just veg instead of rice it is about 6g carbohydrates per serving.

Honey Spiced Duck
This is quite a quick and easy duck breast recipe to put together, it does need to be marinated, but only for 1-2 hours and the rest of the recipe is really easy. I served ours over stir-fried vegetables but it would also be nice with some fried rice as well. I reserve the marinade and boil it, then add a little extra honey and pour it over the duck at the end.
