You will thoroughly enjoy this simple and tasty Chinese-style spicy pork stir fry.

I’m not overly fond of pork but if it’s cooked like this with a tasty marinade and some spices, I think almost anyone would like it.

The key with this recipe is to marinade the pork in the morning before you go to work and leave it all day covered in the fridge. You could also leave it overnight if you prefer.

This meal takes no time at all to make and has a sweet and aromatic flavour that is thoroughly morish
