  • 1 cucumber, finely sliced on the diagonal, to serve

Method

  1. For the marinade, pop all of the marinade ingredients into a food processor and blitz to a puree.
  2. Place pork into a glass or non-reactive bowl, add the marinade and mix to combine. Cover with cling film and leave to rest for 30 minutes.
  3. Heat a large non-stick frying pan or wok over a high heat. Once hot add a splash of olive oil, then add the pork and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes or until cooked to your liking. Once cooked remove the pan from the heat and fold through the sesame seeds and spring onion.
