WARM PORK AND MANDARIN SALAD

Pork has a particular affinity with citrus flavors. If mandarins (also known as tangerines) are out of season, try using their relative, the tangelo, in this recipe. You can also substitute the fresh fruit for drained 310 g can of mandarin segments.

500 g pork fillet, sliced thinly
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
2 teaspoons soy sauce
3 small mandarins, segmented
150 g sugar snap peas
2 tablespoons peanut oil
300 g curly endive, trimmed
1/4 cup firmly packed fresh coriander leaves
1 small red onion, sliced thinly

CHILI DRESSING
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
2 teaspoons soy sauce

Combine pork, garlic, ginger and sauces in small bowl, cover; refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.

Halve mandarin segments lengthways; discard seeds.

Boil, steam or microwave peas until just tender; drain.

Heat the oil in wok or large pan; stir-fry pork, in batches, until browned and cooked as desired.

Gently toss pork, mandarin and peas in large bowl with endive, coriander, onion and dressing.

CHILI DRESSING
Combine ingredients in screw-top jar; shake well.

Serves 4.
