Method

  1. Mix 4 tbsp of pineapple juice into the cornflour until smooth, then stir in the tomato sauce, soy, sugar and vinegar.
  2. Heat oil until very hot in a wok, then throw in the pork for 1 min, stirring. Lift pork out onto a plate, then set aside.
  3. Add the pepper, stir-fry for 2 mins, then add the pineapple and most of the spring onions for 30 secs. Stir in the sauce for 1 min, splashing in a little water as it cooks, then stir the pork back in for 20-30 secs until just cooked through - it should still be tender. Scatter with the remaining spring onions and serve with rice or noodles.

    I made this lovely stir fry and everyone loved it. My son thought it was better than the take-away!! I doubled it for my family and it was so easy to make. I will definately be making this again.

    I made this with tofu. It's a really decent quick supper. I enjoyed the retro-feel sweet and sour sauce. I recommend adding extra soy though and fresh chilli if you like a kick.

    Really tasty. Could only get fresh pineapple so substituted the juice with water and added 1tbsp rather than 1tsp of soy. Added some sugar snaps and baby corn too. Found it needed quite a lot of water added in the final stages to make enough sauce.

    I made my variation of this (extra veg, honey instead of sugar) for my boyf last night. Was really nice, tasted authentic without being artificial. And made with stuff from the cupboards, rather than having to buy a sauce - GREAT!
