In a small mixing bowl, combine the pork with the marinade ingredients. Mix well.

Place wok on medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil, followed by the pork pieces. Saute the pork for 4-5 minutes, or until they’re crispy and golden in colour. Add in the spring onion and saute for a further 1 minute or until the onion is just tender.

Easy to make and really delicious. Perfekt mid week dinner and works well to have the leftovers for lunch.

I made this tonight and it was superb. I bought a piece of pork belly, skin on. I took it off in one piece and then crisped in the oven with a touch of 5 spice and crushed it over the top as garish. So yummy.
