Pork and Pineapple Stir Fry

I love using a wok! If you haven't got one yet, buy one! So many people are put off cooking their own Chinese dishes because they think they're too complicated or need exotic ingredients which they won't have. This pork and pineapple stir fry proves them wrong on the former objection because it's really easy and quick. As to exotic ingredients the only ones you might not have in the cupboard, but can easily find in your local supermarket, are soy sauce (both light and dark) and sesame oil.

  • 500 g pork tenderloin fillet

  1. Cut the pork into 5 cm long strips - less than 1 cm wide
  2. Mix together the marinade ingredients in a bowl then add the pork and stir it well to coat all the strips. Leave for about 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
  3. Heat the wok on a high heat and, when it's good and hot, add the groundnut oil.
  4. Add the garlic & leek, stir-fry for ½ minute, then add the pork and stir-fry for about 3 minutes.
