Florian suggested something Asian, when I asked what he feels like eating. Books have been looked through, web has been searched, recipes have been compared, Waitrose has been visited ( for the kurwa 47th time this week!!!) .

The best s/s pork I remember having was Alex’s at work, the only problem with it was the quantity, as far as I remember, cause the pan was being scraped, so I attempted to make mine at least that good. I think I succeeded.

I used a small pork fillet, thinly sliced it and fried in the wok. Added 2 cloves of garlic, crushed, a red onion, chopped bell pepper, some mange tout, some cup mushrooms, a carrot and a zucchini. Fried it up, added a chopped pineapple and a handful of beansprouts and then added the s/s sauce-; I used about 150ml of juice from under the pineapple, 3 tbsp of ketchup, 2 tbsp of soy sauce, a tbsp of white wine vinegar, same amount of honey and cornstarch. All this went into the wok and thickened nicely after a couple of minutes.  I served it on a nice steamed rice. Very pleased with it, but tomorrow will make some more Chinese I think, lots of stuff in the fridge to be used.
