Ingredients
  • coriander leaves, to serve
  • 2 tsp vegetable oil
  • 4 pork steaks, trimmed of excess fat (about 500 gm)
  • 2 tbsp light muscovado sugar 45 ml mirin
  • 1 tsp tomato purée
  • 432g can pineapples rings in juice, drained, but juice reserved
  • ½ tsp chilli powder
  • 1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • Red bell peppers, julienned (optional)
Instructions

  1. Add the oil to a large non-stick pan, add the garlic and ginger, cook for about 60 seconds until aromatic.

  2. Add the steaks to the frypan and fry for 5 mins on each side until golden and almost cooked through.

  3. Add the pineapple rings to the pan and let them caramelise a little alongside the pork. Add the chilli and five-spice to the pan, then fry for 1 min until aromatic.

  4. While the pineapple caramelises, mix the mirin, soy, tomato purée and most of the pineapple juice in a bowl and tip in to the fry pan and let it bubble around the pork and pineapple for a few mins until slightly reduced and sticky. Sprinkle with coriander, and serve with rice and Chinese greens.
