    1 Heat the oil in a wok, add the sliced pork and toss till sealed (lightly browned). Add the onion, capsicum and carrot and stir-fry for around 5 minutes.

    2 While the vegetables are cooking, drain the pineapple, reserving half a cup of the juice. Add the ginger, pineapple juice, soy sauce, vinegar, tomato sauce and brown sugar to the pan, then cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently until the vegetables become tender crisp.

    3 Stir in the baby corn and pineapple pieces. When heated through, dissolve the cornflour in a tablespoon of cold water and stir into the sauce to thicken. Finally add the cashews, if using. Serve with rice or noodles if desired.

    HFG tip

    Add other vegetables if you like, or substitute chicken for the pork.
