- Marinate the chopped pork fillet in the soy sauce and garlic. Set aside for 15 minutes to 1 hour depending on how long you have. (longer=better)
- Heat a small amount of olive oil in a pan and add the onions, chilli, garlic, ginger and cinnamon. Fry until soft then transfer to a small plate.
- Brown the medallions in the same pan taking care not to flip more than once (they should not be on heat longer than 3 minutes). Transfer them to another plate.
- Add the cornflour to the pan and mix it with the meat juices and add in 50 to 100ml of the chicken stock so you get the cornflour to a nice thick consistency.
- Add in the onion mix and the pork and let the mix bubble/boil for 30 seconds so that the sauce gets thick. Add in the rest of the stock and let simmer on low heat for roughly 30 minutes.
