650g Pasture Fed pork fillet, sliced
1 tbsp grated ginger
2 chilli, finely chopped
1/4 cup soy sauce
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp lime juice
Coriander
Mint
Cucumber
Bean Sprouts
Boiled rice to serve

Method:

Make salad of thinly sliced cucumbers and bean sprouts (or whatever you are using) with chopped mint and coriander.
Pan fry pork fillet until brown and nearly cooked then remove.
Add soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar and ginger to pan and cook until is sugar dissolved and starting to caramelise.
Return pork to pan and reheat.

Trish’s tip: If you don’t have bean sprouts you can use snow peas, sugar snaps or asparagus; just lightly steam and then refresh. Serves 6. Cheers, Alison
