Kay's pork strips

By milly1362

Ingredients

• 6 pork cutlets
• 3 tbsp apricot jelly
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp ginger
• 1 garlic clove
• 1/4 chopped chili pepper
• 1/2 bell pepper
• 3 spring onions

Preparation

Step 1

Drop 3 tbsp jelly in a bowl.

Add 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 (or 1) tsp sesame oil and 1 tsp grated ginger to the jelly.

Also add a chopped or grated garlic clove and about 1/3 minced chili pepper. Nah, it’s not going to make it hot hot, it’ll add a bit of warmth is all. Live a little

Add a good pinch of salt and whisk.

Cut up 6 pork cutlets. Throw pork cutlets in with the marinade and set the bowl aside for 15 minutes or so.

This is completely optional; I just like to add a little extra flavor and crunch to the pork strips as well. I’ve thinly sliced 3 spring onions and about 1/2 a juicy red bell pepper.

Heat 1 tbsp oil. Let the pan get really, really sizzling hot and throw in the pork strips. Sauce and all. Cook over very high heat.

Now the trick is to not stir for a while. Refrain… leave them be. Pork strips are cooked in no time, but we also want the jelly and honey to caramelize and stick to the meat. And we want the sauce to cook down.

After a few minutes—when you see the strips kinda turn white on the bottom—you flip them over. Add the bell pepper and spring onions. Keep a few spring onions behind for garnish.

**Serve with rice and/or string beans
