Coriander marinade

    Place pork in a non-reactive container, pour marinade over it, turn to coat and leave to marinate for 10 minutes.

    Meanwhile, toss herbs, mango, spring onion, shallot, lime leaves, lime juice, fish sauce and chilli in a bowl to combine and adjust seasoning to taste. Add pork neck and cucumber and serve.
