    Chinese Sweet and Sour Pork

    This is a classic Chinese dish. When I was a boy, my mother used to make this with crispy fried noodles on top. In this version I use pork but you can also make it with chicken breast (recipe somewhere else on this site).

    – Fry some chopped onions in a wok.
    – Toss small pieces of chicken breast in cornflour and add to the wok. Add some chopped carrots and green pepper. Fry until the chicken starts to colour.
    – Add
        – pineapple chunks
        – pineapple juice
        – soy sauce
        – tomato purée
        – vinegar
        – a little sherry
        – honey (or sugar)
    – Reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are cooked through and the sauce thickens
    – Service with rice or noodles.
