Ingredients:
For the sweet and sour sauce
2 tbsp ground tomatoes or tomato purée
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp pineapple juice
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp granulated sugar
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp cornstarch
1¼ cups hot vegetable stock
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, peeled and cut into eighths
12oz (350g) leftover roast pork,
coarsely shredded
7oz (200g) snow peas, cut in half crosswise diagonally

Method:
1 First, make the sweet and sour sauce. In a bowl, mix together the tomato purée, soy sauce, pineapple juice, vinegar, and sugar. Season with sea salt and black pepper.

2 Heat the oil in a wok over medium heat. Add the onion, and stir-fry for a few minutes until soft, moving it around the pan often so that it doesn’t brown. Pour in the sauce, and keep stirring.

3 Mix the cornstarch into a paste with 1 tablespoon water, and add to the sauce along with the stock. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.

4 Now add the pork, reduce the heat to low, and cook for about 15 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken. Add the snow peas for the last 5 minutes of cooking. Taste, and season if needed. Serve immediately with rice or noodles.
