Heat a little vegetable oil in a heavy-based deep frying pan or saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onion and and cook until lightly coloured. Transfer to a plate.
Increase the heat to medium, add the pork and ginger and cook until the pork is browned. Add the soy sauces and black pepper and cook for 1 minute.
Return onion to the pan, pour in the stock and add the chopped chilli, bay leaves and lemon rind.
Lower the heat and simmer pork for 1 hour, stirring occasionally until the juices have thickened and the sauce looks shiny and dark.
Serve with white rice, steamed greens or wilted spinach and grilled naan bread.
This recipe works well in a slow cooker – cook on high for 4-4 ½ hours.
To thicken the sauce in the slow cooker, pour into a saucepan and reduce down over medium-high heat.
Top pork with blanched thin shreds of lemon rind for extra flavour and colour.
This Balinese stir fry is jam-packed full of flavour. Leave out the chillies if you're making it for little ones.
