- Saute onion in hot sesame oil in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat 7 to 8 minutes or until onion is tender. Add coconut milk and next 7 ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low, and simmer, stirring often, 15 minutes or until thickened. Cool 10 minutes. Reserve 1/3 cup coconut milk mixture, and set aside.
- Combine pork strips and remaining coconut milk mixture in a shallow dish or large zip-top plastic freezer bag. Cover or seal, and chill 1 hour.
