Method
- Place the pork in a bowl and add the sherry or rice wine and soy sauce.
- Stir well and leave to marinate for 20 mins. Stir in the cornflour. Drain the pineapple from the can and reserve the juice, cut into chunks. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan and stir-fry the pork for 3-4 mins until browned and cooked through with no pink showing. Remove from the pan.
- Add the pepper, carrot, spring onion and pineapple chunks to the pan and cook for a further 2-3 mins. Mix the reserved pineapple juice with the sauce ingredients and add to the pan with the pork. Simmer for 3-4 mins. Serve immediately with egg fried rice or noodles.
