Thai style

Cut the pork into thick strips and place them in a shallow bowl. Process the soy sauce, fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of oil, coriander, pepper, garlic, and sugar in a food processor or with an immersion blender until a thick paste forms. Mix the paste well with the meat. Cover the bowl and let the mixture marinate for 3 hours or overnight. Pour the remaining oil into a hot wok. Remove the meat from the marinade and drain well, reserving the marinade. Brown the meat strips in the hot oil for 3-4 minutes on all sides. Add the marinade, potatoes, and water, and bring gently to a boil. Simmer over low heat for 6-8 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Add the spring onions and spinach (chop them a little finely depending on their size) to the wok and cook until the spinach wilts. Serve with cooked rice or noodles.
