Ingredients

  • 200 grams Pork butt (shoulder or roast), sliced
  • 2 Green peppers
  • 1/2 Carrot
  • 1/2 Onion
  • 1 Pineapple
  • 4 small Dried shiitake mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp Sugar, soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp Tomato ketchup
  • 3 1/2 tbsp Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Katakuriko

Method

  • Cut up the carrot roughly, and slice the onion into wedges.
  • Cut the pineapple into bite sized pieces.
  • Re-hydrate the shiitake mushrooms and slice in half (keep the soaking liquid).
  • Chop the bell peppers roughly, and slice the pork pieces in half.
  • Microwave the carrot for 3 minutes to cook through.
  • Rub 1 teaspoon each of sugar and sake (not listed) into the pork, and dust with 1 tablespoon of katakuriko (not listed).
  • Combine the seasonings with 2 tablespoons of the mushroom soaking liquid (dissolve the katakuriko here too).
  • Heat about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan and pan fry the pork.
  • Roll up the pork slices before adding to the pan.
  • Take the pork out just before it's cooked through (it will continue cooking with residual heat).
  • Add all the vegetables to the same pan and stir fry.
  • When the peppers are cooked through, add the combined seasonings.
  • When the sauce has thickened and turned translucent, add the pineapple and the pork, mix everything together, and it's done.
