1 carrot, cut in rounds
1 clove garlic, chopped finely
1 onion, chopped finely
Sweet and sour sauce

1 tbsp water

  3. Fry in hot cooking oil until golden brown.
  4. Remove and drain in absorbent paper.
  5. Fry garlic and onion in oil, add pineapple chunks, capsicum, carrot and ½ cup broth.
  6. Stir fry for few minutes. Add the pork pieces.
  7. Prepare Sweet and sour sauce and pour in saucepan.
