- Heat a wok until smoking and add the groundnut oil, then add the pork steaks and cook for 2-3 minutes on both sides, or until golden-brown and cooked through. Remove the steaks from the wok transfer to a warm plate to rest.
- For the sweet and sour sauce, place all of the sauce ingredients into a food processor and blend to a smooth paste.
- Pour the sweet and sour sauce into the wok used to cook the pork and leave to simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced to a thick consistency. Season, to taste, with light soy sauce, rice wine and ground white pepper.
- To serve, pour the sauce over the pork and serve with rice and choi sum.
