Pork chops with soy basted butternut squash and shredded spring cabbage
Preheat the oven to 200 C, 400 F, Gas 5. Cut the squash in half and scoop out and discard the seeds. Cut the squash into 8 long slices and place on a baking sheet. Mix together the Kikkoman Soy Sauce, chillies and oil. Brush over the squash and bake for 45 minutes until tender, basting occasionally. Meanwhile, mix together the mustard and apricot jam. Brush over the chops and place on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes until cooked through. Ten minutes before the pork is done, steam the cabbage with the onions and soy sauce. Pour the stock into a saucepan. Mix the cornflour with enough water to form a smooth paste. Whisk into the stock with the soy sauce and mustard. Cook over a medium heat stirring until thickened. Spoon the cabbage onto plates with the squash, a pork chop and drizzle with gravy.
