• Ask the butcher to remove rind from the pork.

• Cut pork into strips 5 cm (2 inches) long and 2.5 cm (1 inch) wide.

• Crush garlic with salt and combine with all the other ingredients except oil.

• Rub over the pork and leave for at least 15 minutes to marinate.

• Heat wok, add oil and swirl to coat wok.

• Add the pork pieces, reserving marinade.

• Stir fry the pork until browned, then add reserved marinade, washing out the bowl with half cup hot water and adding that too.

• Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes until pork is tender.

• Stir occasionally and add more hot water if liquid looks like drying up.

• Be careful that the sweet marinade does not burn.

• The heat should be very low throughout the cooking.

• When pork is tender, remove from heat and if not serving straight away it may be reheated at serving time.

• Serve with plain white rice.
