Sweet And Sour Quorn - adapted from Jamie's Ministry of Food

Ingredients

groundnut oil
1 bag of Quorn pieces
1 red onion
1 red pepper
1 thumb sized piece of ginger (peeled and diced)
2 cloves of garlic - crushed
1 small bunch of coriander (pick off leaves and chop stalks)
1 heaped tsp five-spice
1 tsp cornflour
2-3 tbsp soy sauce
1 small tin of pineapple chunks
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 - 1 red chilli - diced (optional)


Method

Heat the oil in a large saucepan.  Add the quorn and five-spice and stir thoroughly.  Cook until lightly browned then remove to a bowl.  Add a little more oil to the pan if necessary and reheat.  Add onion, garlic, ginger, coriander stalks,  pepper (and chilli if using).  Cook for a few minutes then stir in the cornflour and 2 tbsp of soy sauce.  Cook for 30 to 40 seconds, then add the pineapple chunks, with their juice, the quorn and the balsamic vinegar.  Season with black pepper and add more soy sauce if necessary.  Reduce to a gravy like consistency then serve.

Garnish with coriander leaves.
