While you may be satisfied with a bacon butty or breakfast roll, pork buns will not only impress your taste bud but everyone else’s. Prepare to have your mind blown as this pork shoulder joint is roasted with just 3 ingredients and asks very little of you.

Although 2 hours can seem like an awfully long time to spend on a meal, this dish only needs your attention during the first and last 10 minutes of the time, allowing you to binge-watch your shows on Netflix while the pork does its own thing in the oven. By using Coca-Cola, it will allow you to cut away many ingredients for flavouring and balances out the salty flavour of the soy sauce.
