Fried Pork with Red pepper paste

10 to 12 small pork meat cubes (+ or - for 2 persons)
1 or 2 tablespoon of red pepper paste
6 tablespoon of olive oil (4 + 2)
2 tablespoons vegetable margarine
2 tablespoon of white wine vinegar or 1/2 lemon juice or both
1 hand full of finely chopped fresh (or frozen not dry) cilantro


Cut the pork meat into small cubes and with 1 or 2 tablespoons of red pepper paste (that I've already posted the recipe here) do the same way as I did with the turkey (also posted here) and rub it all over the meat.
In a skillet put 4 tablespoons of olive oil, wait until it is hot enough and you can hear the fizz when you dip the meat into it. Cook it until golden brown, this must be a quick process in a medium-high heat to seal the meat and you can cook less cubes at once to achieve this faster. The golden brown meat cubes can be put aside on a plate until you have them all done.

Next, into the same skillet add 2 more tablespoons of olive oil , 2 tablespoons of vegetable margarine and the cilantro, stirring till you have all mixed together, add the meat and its juices, put the lid and let it cook in a low-heat for a little longer until the meat is not pink inside.

Before turning off the heat, sprinkle the meat with the vinegar and stir. If you want to add the lemon juice it's after turning off the heat.

For decoration and a little more flavor, spread fresh cilantro leaves over the meat.
Instead pork you can do the same with turkey breast fillets cut into strips.
