Instructions: Vary the taste by adding an extra spicy touch of chilli powder. It is very quick to cook and goes well with plain rice and any stir fried vegetable.

Cut the pork into thin slices 5cm long.

Put the slices into a small bowl and mix them well with the dry sherry or rice wine soy sauce and cornflour.

Let them marinade for about 20 minutes.

Heat a wok or large frying pan until it is hot.

Add about 1/2 tablespoon of the oil and when it is almost smoking lift the pork out of the marinade with a slotted spoon and quickly stir fry it for about 23 minutes.

Then transfer it at once to a bowl.

Wipe the wok clean re heat it and add the rest of the oil.

Then quickly add the black beans garlic and spring onions.

A few seconds later add the rest of the ingredients.

Bring the mixture to a boil and then return the pork to the wok or pan. Stir fry the entire mixture for another 5 minutes.

Turn it onto a platter and serve.
