- Put the ginger, garlic, chilli, coriander stalks (or root) and shrimp into a food processor and whizz to a paste.
- Heat a wok, add the oil, then add the paste. Fry until fragrant. Add the pork, stir well and fry for 5 mins until cooked through. Stir in the fish sauce and the palm sugar, then cook for a good 10 mins more, until the meat becomes sticky, dark and caramelised. Can be made up to 2 days ahead, then reheated. Cool a little, top each pineapple slice with a teaspoon of the sticky pork and devour.
