Sweet, Sticky, Perfect: Our Iberico Pork with Ginger Sauce Explained

 

When it comes to unforgettable flavours at Nanyang Blossom, few dishes make as bold and satisfying a statement as our Sticky Soy Iberico Pork. It’s rich, it’s tender, and it’s coated in a glaze so glossy and fragrant, it turns heads as soon as it hits the table.

This dish is a perfect example of what we do best — blending luxury ingredients with authentic Southeast Asian sauces, creating something that feels comforting, elevated, and uniquely us.


🐖 Why Iberico Pork?

We start with Iberico pork, a premium ingredient from Spain known for:

  • Its marbled fat, similar to wagyu, which melts during cooking

  • A nutty, savoury depth that comes from the pigs’ acorn-based diet

  • Naturally tender texture, perfect for quick searing or slow glazing

It’s not traditionally used in Southeast Asian cuisine — but when paired with our house ginger BBQ glaze, it creates a harmony that surprises and delights even the most seasoned food lovers.


🍯 The Sauce: Bold Ginger with a Sweet, Sticky Twist

The magic of this dish lies in the sauce. Chef Daren’s BBQ ginger glaze is built on a foundation of:

  • Soy sauce for depth and umami

  • Fresh ginger for brightness and spice

  • Palm sugar and honey for that luscious, sticky sweetness

  • A touch of black vinegar to round out the profile with a gentle tang

As the pork caramelises in the glaze, the sugars form a sticky crust, locking in juices and adding irresistible flavour in every bite.


🍛 What Comes with It?

The Iberico pork is served alongside sautéed okra, which adds freshness and a slight crunch — balancing the richness of the meat. On the side, many guests pair it with:

  • Egg fried rice

  • Jasmine pearl rice

  • Or even our Singapore vermicelli for an added layer of spice and texture

It’s a dish that’s both bold and balanced — perfect for chilly London evenings or indulgent weekend dinners.


🥂 What to Drink With It

For wine, you’ll want something that stands up to the dish’s bold, sticky-sweet character. We recommend:

  • Pinot Noir – light, fruity, and earthy enough to complement the pork

  • Zinfandel – slightly jammy with enough body to match the glaze

  • Or try our “Sayang” cocktail – plum tea sake and lemon tonic, a refreshing contrast to the richness


🌟 A Customer Favourite for Good Reason

Our guests regularly call this dish:

“The best pork I’ve had in London — soft, sweet, and full of flavour.”
