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!

    I thought their version was too vinegary, so kept adding other things (ketchup/soy/sugar) plus water and ended up with something that tasted a lot like Uncle Bens S&S sauce! - but at least it was cheaper than buting the jar

    Nice and quick, used home grown honey instead of sugar. Everyone liked it. I did use more soy sauce and a wee bit of tabasco.

    Had this for dinner this evening. Really nice and light. Served with brown rice. Didn't realise that the sauce would stick to the pork and veg, so there wasn't any left to drizzle over the top, but still a nice meal.

    I loved this. I served with noodles which I'd tossed in with the rest of the stir fry before serving. It really coating the noodles in the sauce and made it really lovely. Will definitely be trying this again.

    Made this with chicken instead of pork, cooking for a bit longer to make sure it was done through. Quite bland, probably wouldn't make again.

    I added more sugar as it wasn't sweet enough for sweet & sour! I added a green pepper, made it yummy & added bulk! you can do it with less meat, if you want a cheaper dish. made in minutes & the kids love it!
