Preparation
Step 1
Cut pork into thin slices. If using pork shoulder, as I did, halve it lengthwise to form two long pieces, then slice the pieces. See photo below.
Step 2
Combine Marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add pork. Marinate for 30 minutes, or overnight.
Step 3
To cook, heat oil in a large non stick skillet (Note 4) over high heat. Add garlic and onion, cook for 2 minutes until translucent. Add pork and cook for 5 minutes or until dark golden and caramelised, and just cooked through.
Step 4
Serve immediately with rice - or for a low carb, low cal option, try Cauliflower Rice! Garnish with sliced shallots and sesame seeds.
Step 5
