pork chilli pineapple stir-fry method

In a medium bowl, whisk together all the marinade ingredients, add the pork and stir to coat thoroughly. Cover with cling film for at least 2 hours or over night to allow the flavours to develop.

When you’re ready to cook.

Use a fine sieve to drain the pork from marinade, reserve the marinade. On a high heat melt a tablespoon of coconut in a large wok or large frying pan until it’s very hot.  Add the pork and fry in batches until dark brown on the outside and still slightly pink inside. Keep the cooked pork warm and pour the reserved marinade into the wok, at a fast simmer reduce the marinade until its about half the original volume and becomes shiny and thick. Return the cooked pork to the sauce, cook for 1 more minute stirring to thoroughly to coat the meat and serve with steamed rice, scattered with pineapple and spring onions batons with a bowl of coriander leaves to scatter on top.

Tip: Don’t over cook the pork in this dish. Modern Australian pork is juicy and delicious served slightly pink.
