Time Saver Tips
- *To save time, pulse ginger root and garlic cloves in a food processor until it is all reduced to small pieces.
- Double the recipe, and divide in 2 Ziploc bags. Freeze 1 bag, so the meat can marinate longer, and be ready to cook whenever you want.
- Marinate the pork the night before for extra tenderness and flavour!
