Instructions

Cut the pork into chunks, approx 1in/2.5cm by 2in/5cm.
Mix together the remaining ingredients - if you are not using pre-prepared lemongrass I'd suggest blending it all together, otherwise fine to just mix well. Add the pork to the sauce and leave to marinade for at least 2 hours, but all day/overnight if possible, refrigerated.
Take the pork our of the fridge approx 20min before cooking while the grill heats ups. Grill the pork chunks on the grill/BBQ for approx 5min per side, depending on heat/size of pieces. You want the pork cooked through but not too cooked so it dries out.
Serve with rice or noodles, maybe some quick picked carrots and daikon radish and salad (or as you prefer).
