About

It was the Chinese who originally created sweet and sour cooking, but the Thais also do it very well. This version has a fresher and cleaner flavour than the original. It makes a good one-dish meal when served over rice.

Ingredients

350 g/12 oz lean pork
30 ml/2

Method

Place the pork in the freezer for 30–40 minutes, until firm. Using a sharp knife, cut it into thin strips.
Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan. Add the garlic. Cook over a medium heat until golden, then add the pork and stir-fry for 4

A pretty standard stir fry. I used pork fillet which disintegrated a bit. Absolutely no heat in this dish and I would add some sliced chillies next time.
