Method

  1. Finely slice the onion, then mix with the vinegar and sugar in a glass or ceramic bowl.
  2. Put the rice in a large pan with 500ml water. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat to low, cover with a lid and cook for 10-15 minutes until tender. Drain and keep warm.
  3. Meanwhile, cut the pork loin into 2cm thick slices. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat, then fry the pork slices for 5 minutes, turning, or until they take on some colour.
