Ingredients
- 250g of pork ribs (removed all visible fat), cut into pieces
- 1 teaspoon of cornflour
- 2 tablespoons of dark soy sauce
- low-calorie frying spray
- 150g of mushrooms, sliced
- 2 red peppers, peeled and cut into slices
- 75g of mangetout peas (crispy pea) trimmed
- 15g of fresh ginger root, cut into thin sticks
- 1 clove of garlic, thinly sliced
- 4 spring onions, cut into shorter pieces
- freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
Season the pork with pepper. Mix the cornflour with two tablespoons of cold water until smooth, then stir in the soy sauce. Spray a large wok or deep frying pan with baking soda and put on high heat. Fry the pork, stirring, for 1-2 minutes or until lightly browned, but not overcooked.
Transfer to a plate. Return the pan to the heat, reduce the heat a little and sprinkle with more oil. Fry mushrooms and pepper for 2 minutes. Add the mangetout peas and fry for a minute. Add ginger, garlic, and spring onions and fry for a few seconds. Return the pork to the pan, then pour the soy sauce mixture over the meat and vegetables. Fry for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and the pork is fried. Serve immediately.
