Sweet and Sour Pork
with Bulgur Wheat
Bulgur wheat isn’t the most frequent guest at the dinner table, so we’ve invited it to join the party for this recipe! High in fibre and protein and low on the glycaemic index, it’s a great source of nutrition and, more importantly, it tastes great. Bulgur wheat is eaten a lot in the Middle East and South Asia where people have been enjoying it for thousands of years. We’ve teamed it up with a fantastic sweet and sour pork, for a recipe which is as delicious as it is easy.

Instructions
Bring the water (amount specified in the ingredient list) to the boil in a pot with the vegetable stock pot. Pour in the bulgur wheat, place a lid on the pot and rest off the heat for 25 mins, or until the water has completely soaked into the wheat.
Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press if you have one). Remove the core from the peppers and chop into bite-sized chunks. Thinly slice the spring onion, separating the white and green parts.
Cut the pork into bite-sized cubes and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sprinkle the cornflour onto a plate, add your pork and coat thoroughly on all sides.
Turn your hob to high and heat a splash of oil in a frying pan. Line a large plate with kitchen paper. When the pan is hot, add half your pork and fry until brown (about 4 mins). Transfer your pork to the lined plate to drain the oil, then fry your remaining pork and add to the plate too.
In a small bowl, mix the vinegar with a sprinkle of sugar (if you have some). Stir until your sugar has dissolved then set aside.
Rinse the frying pan (used for your pork) then put on medium-high heat. Add a splash of oil and cook your garlic and the whites of your spring onion for 1 minute. Add your peppers and cook for 4 mins. Add the ketjap manis and your vinegar mixture and bring to a simmer.
Return your pork to the pan and stir thoroughly. Continue cooking for 2-3 mins. Season with salt and pepper, if needed. Tip: The pork is cooked when it is no longer pink in the middle.
Serve your sweet and sour pork with your bulgur wheat on the side. Sprinkle over the greens of your spring onion and enjoy!
