Background

During the Chinese New Year Festivities we tend to make lots of stir-fries. If you’re after a quick and easy recipe, why don’t you try this spicy Vietnamese stir-fried pork? It’s ready in just ten minutes, it’s yummy and perfect for a get-together or a mid-week meal. Vietnamese fish paste (Ca Kho To) can be bought in Asian supermarkets, Siracha sauce is sold in larger grocery shops.

Ingredients

350g pork tenderloin/fillet
2 shallots or 1 onion
1 Tbsp Vietnamese fish paste (Ca Kho To)
1 tsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp Siracha sauce
Lime juice
Spring onions to garnish (optional)

Instructions

Slice the pork into 1 cm thick rounds. Finely chop the onion.
Heat a spoonful of oil in a wok and stir-fry the pork for 2-3 minutes, or until golden. Transfer to a plate and keep form.
Stir-fry the onion for 2 minutes then add the sugar, fish paste and 3 Tbsp water. Cook until you get a thick sauce.
Return the pork and cook for a couple of minutes to glaze the slices, then add 1 tsp of Siracha sauce - more if you want it very spicy. Taste, season and add some lime juice.
Serve hot with steamed Jasmine rice.
