Ingredients

Crispy pork bites:
  • 300 g pork tenderloin cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 60 g cornflour
Sticky glaze:
  • 100 ml Thai sweet chilli sauce
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic paste
  • 1 tsp ginger paste
To serve:
  • Spring onion sliced
  • Lime wedges optional
  • Rice

Instructions

  • Add all the sauce ingredients into a large saucepan and simmer for a few minutes until it turns sticky. Use a bigger saucepan as you will add the pork to it later.
  • Pop the pork into a bowl, add the fish sauce, then add in 1 tbsp of the cornflour and stir until it’s coated. This will help the next layer cling on.
  • Add the remaining cornflour and coat each piece, if you squeeze it then it will help each piece get crispier.
  • Heat a good amount of oil in a large frying pan over a medium to high heat. Once the oil is hot, shallow fry the pork for a few minutes on each side, until it’s golden and crisp. You may need to cook this in batches.
  • Once it’s golden and crisp, remove it from the pan and onto kitchen paper.
  • Tip the crispy pork into the sticky sauce and stir to coat. Serve it over rice and finish with some sliced spring onion, a lime wedge, and a sprinkle of thai basil if you like.
