This colour challenged, but otherwise tasty dish takes a remarkably short time to prepare. Marinate pork strips in your favorite soya sauce and the result is a melt in the mouth tender dish. I used red onions soaked in ice water that
was left over from making the salad, but it would be also great with green
onions or with steamed broccoli florets. Cut the pork across the
grain into paper thin strips and marinate them for 15 minutes. Great with
rice or Chinese noodles!
