Pork and Apple Stir-Fry

Stir-fries are super quick to cook once the preparation work is out of the way.

Ingredients

2 boneless pork chops

Sea salt and black pepper to season

1 medium onion

2 medium carrots

2 sticks of celery

1 red pepper

A thumb-sized piece of ginger

100ml cider

2 tablespoons dark soy sauce

1 teaspoon cornflour

Rapeseed oil

5 tablespoons apple sauce (shop-bought or home-made)

Method

• Trim any excess fat from the pork chops and discard, then slice the pork into finger-thick strips and season with sea salt and black pepper.

• Peel and slice the onion, slice the carrots and celery, de-seed the red pepper and slice it, and peel and finely dice the ginger.

• In a small mixing bowl combine the cider and soy sauce, then whisk in the cornflour.

• Heat a wok on a high heat and add a good glug of oil. When the oil is hot add the pork strips and stir-fry until no longer pink. Add in the prepared vegetables, stir-fry everything for a further 3–4 minutes before adding the apple sauce and the cornflour mix.

• Cook for another 3–4 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Serve with some cooked rice or egg noodles.
