I always have the ingredients on hand for this dish, which takes only a few minutes to assemble. I often make a quadruple batch of the sauce and keep it in a small jar in the pantry, so the meal is even quicker to prepare the next time. The pork floss I like is flavoured with shredded seaweed and sesame seeds, but use whatever type you prefer. Ikura - salmon roe - makes a delicious substitute for the pork floss.
