- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the lime mixture over the onion and vegetable mixture. Toss gently to combine.
- In a separate bowl, combine the remaining lime mixture with the pork, ensuring each piece is coated.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated pork to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
- Add the cooked pork to the large bowl with the pineapple and vegetable mixture.
- Toss gently to combine everything.
- Serve the Asian Pork & Pineapple Salad immediately over a bed of arugula. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
