Servings: persons

500 g pork, cut into sort of 2x2x2 pieces (i.e fillet, loin, leg etc)
Marinade
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Sweet and Sour Sauce
1 tablespoon cornflour
3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon tomato sauce or 1 tablespoon ketchup
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon ground chili powder
water, extra
Other Stuff
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 red onion, chopped
115 g baby corn, chopped
250 g red capsicums, diced largely (I find red capsicum is the nicest)
200 g zucchini, chopped
1/2 - 1 fresh pineapple, chopped (depending on size and how much pineapple you like in your sweet and sour)
1 1/2 teaspoons dried coriander (optional) or 1/2 bunch fresh coriander, chopped (optional)
pepper
steamed rice

1
Combine the marinade ingredients and add the pork. Allow the flavours to penetrate for at least 20 minutes (although it doesn't really matter if it can't be marinated for that long).
2
Combine the cornflour with a little of the extra water to form a smooth paste/liquid, then set aside. Combine the remaining sweet and sour sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and place over a high heat. When hot, whisk in the cornflour mixture. Continue to whisk over a high heat until the sauce until it has thickened to your liking. Set aside.
3
Place the pork and the marinade into a hot frypan (or wok)and fry until it's almost completely cooked. Remove pork from the pan and set aside.
4
Heat the garlic in the pan. Add the onion and stir fry for about 30 seconds before throwing in the baby corn. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add the capsicum, stir frying for another minute or so, then add the zucchini. After stir frying for another 2-4 minutes add the sweet and sour sauce you prepared earlier. Return the pork to the pan and season with pepper and dried coriander (if using). If you feel you need more liquid you can probably add a little bit of chicken or vegetable stock.
5
If the vegetables aren't quite cooked to your liking allow them to simmer in the sauce for however long they need to suit your taste buds (on the contrary you can reduce the stir frying time if you prefer crisper veggies). Add the pineapple (if using fresh coriander, add it in here)and allow it to heat slightly before taking the pan off the heat. Serve on steamed rice (I prefer basmati rice, but any long grain rice will suffice).
