Szechuan Pork Stir-Fry

1) Marinate 500 g of cubed pork fillet, for at least an hour or preferably longer, in:
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornflour
1 tablespoon water
2) Combine and set aside:
juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons vinegar (rice or white wine)
1 teaspoon cornflour
3 teaspoons dark sesame oil

3) Heat 1 tablespoon of oil, stir in:
3 teaspoons crushed ginger
2 chopped green chillies

Fry for 1 minute, then add the pork and continue stir-frying for about 5 minutes. Then add 1 julienned carrot and 100g julienned sugar-snap peas and continue to stir-fry for another 5 minutes or so, until pork is tender.

4) Pour in lime mixture and continue to stir almost constantly for another 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in 2-3 chopped spring onions and handful of finely chopped roasted peanuts.

Serve with rice as a side. It could be cooked just plain in slightly salted water, as it is designed to extinguish and cushion chillies in the stir-fry.

Enjoy!
