Method

1. To tenderise the pork steak, pound the meat with the back of a chopper. Cut into large chunks, then marinade with salt and five spice powder.

2. Heat 1 Tbsp of oil in a pan and add sliced potatoes. Fry potatoes till brown. Remove and set aside.

3. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp of cornflour onto the marinaded pork steak chunks and add to the pan. Fry pork steak till golden. If required, add a little oil to prevent the steak from sticking to the pan. Use a pair of scissors to cut steak chunks into thick slices. Fry till cooked. (Alternatively, remove the pork steak after it's cooked to a chopping board and cut the pork steak into thick slices using a knife, before continuing with the next step).

4. Add fried potatoes, chilli, red pepper and peas. Stir fry for a couple of minutes, then add ginger and garlic and continue to fry for a couple more minutes.

5. Add 1/2 cup of water and bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer the sauce for a few minutes. Add cornflour mixed with water to thicken the sauce.
