1 tsp oil

280 g lean pork (trim off fat and cut into cubes)

1 large onion (cut into large chunks)

2 carrots (cut into matchsticks)

1 medium sweet green pepper (deseeded and cut into large chunks)

140 g can of pineapple slices in fruit juice (drained and juice reserved, cut into chunks)

2 tbsp tomato ketchup/paste

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp vinegar

1 tsp corn flour (mixed with 2 teaspoons of water to make a paste)

Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan and stir-fry the pork for about 3-4 minutes until the pork is nearly cooked through.

Add the onion, carrot and sweet pepper and cook for a few minutes until still slightly crunchy. Add the pineapple chunks and allow to heat through.

Meanwhile in a small saucepan combine the tomato ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar and reserved pineapple juice. Bring to the boil and reduce the temperature to a simmer. Add the corn flour paste and stir until the sauce thickens.

Add the sauce to the wok and mix thoroughly.
