Asian Pork and Prawns

4 Servings

- approx 500 g pork stir-fry strips (you can ask your butcher to cut this for you from the leg, shoulder or any other lean part of the pork carcase)
- 25 ml olive oil, or a little more if necessary
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 25 ml lime juice
- 25 ml chopped coriander
- 125 ml red, yellow and green sweet peppers, cut into strips
- 125 ml mushrooms, sliced
- 30 ml Thai fish sauce or light soy sauce
- 15 ml clear honey
- 1 – 2 chillies, finely chopped

Heat the olive oil and fry the garlic and onion until soft. Add the lime juice, coriander and pork and stir-fry 5 minutes. Add more oil if needed, and add the peppers and mushrooms. Stir-fry until the pork is just cooked.
Add the fish sauce or soy sauce, honey and chillies and cook for another 5 minutes.
Add the prawns, bean sprouts and boiling water and steam-fry until everything is heated through. Taste and season with more fish or soy sauce, if preferred.
