A fresh and healthy stir fry, which makes the most of a classic sweet and sour flavour combination.
Method
- Mix together the cornflour and the juice from the tinned pineapple, until smooth. Then add enough water to make 200ml and add the vinegar.
- Cut the pork into small strips or cubes and fry, over a medium heat, in a large non-stick pan or wok for 5-10 minutes until the meat is almost cooked through.
- Add the leek, carrot and peppers and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Add the drained pineapple pieces and the mangetout and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring all the time.
- Finally, add the pineapple juice and bring to the boil, until the sauce thickens. Then serve with brown rice.
- Alternative: use 4 small chicken breasts instead of pork, or half the amount of pork and add a handful of halved roasted almonds at the end.
Serves: 4
Time: 30 mins
Store leftovers in the fridge (but for no longer than 2 days). How about eating it for tomorrows lunch?
