serves 4
  • 500 g pork loin steaks (chopped into bite-sized chunks)

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • 4 tablespoons cornflour ((US - cornstarch))

  • 1 tablespoon cornflour ((US - cornstarch))
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar ((or white wine vinegar, or rice wine vinegar))
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce ((I use dark, but light or all purpose works fine too. Use tamari if you need this to be gluten free.))

  • 1 large green pepper (chopped into bite-sized chunks – roughly 3cm x 3cm / 1¼inch x 1¼inch)
  • 1 large red onion (chopped into 8 wedges and then each wedge chopped in half to get 16 fat chunks)
