Method

Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the pork and cook over medium high heat until  golden brown. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Add the onion, red or green pepper, Gregg's Crushed Garlic and Gregg's Crushed Ginger to the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the onion is golden. Add the soy sauce, Gregg's Tomato Paste, brown sugar, vinegar, pineapple juice and water. Simmer uncovered for 3 to 4 minutes.

Add the pork back to the pan along with the pineapple pieces. Simmer for a further 3 to 4 minutes.

Combine the cornflour and extra water and stir in to thicken the sauce.

Hints & Tips

Try this with diced chicken instead of the pork.

Also delicious wth sausages or your favourite meatballs.

Make the sauce without the meat and serve on rice for a tasty vegetarian dinner.

For a bit of heat, add a teaspoon of Gregg's Crushed Chilli.
