Any help appreciated! I got a pack of sainsburys value diced pork in chinese style sauce/marinade reduced to 25p today and have put in in the freezer to be used later this week. Its really not the sort of thing I would usually eat but OH orders things like that from the chinese so hopefully IF I can cook it right he will enjoy it.
There is visible fat but not tons of it, but as I dont usually buy pork and its value Im guessing it will be quite tough? I was thinking stick it in a baking tray (with a little olive oil if necessary?) and cover with tin foil but for how long and at what temperature would be best? I was also thinking serve with some roasted peppers and onions and egg fried rice. Is that what others would do or am I way off track? Am open to all ideas.
Thanks in advance.

You could always put it into a curry style sauce cos it may be a bit dry. Onion, garlic, tin of tomatoes, some coconut milk, cumin, fresh ginger, garam masala etc and then serve with the rice and veg?0

If it's a bit bland, shove in a squirt of ketchup/brown sauce. Throw in sliced peppers, onion, courgette, aubergines, tomatoes, plums going a bit duff in the bottom of the fridge, garlic, corn, lemon wedges, anything you can find, maybe a chilli or two, slit rather than chopped. Cover in foil, shove in about gas 4 until it smells good (hour or so), take foil off and let it thicken on high heat until gloopy. Bung on white rice. Yummy!I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll0

Thanks for the replies. OH wants me to stir fry it which is fine in theory but I think it would be tough that way.0

Try it, we stirfry pork all the time, it really needs a lot less tme than youd think, overcooking makes it tough. I would stirfry it, it should say on the packet how long it needs. As long as you are clear with your timing youll be OK
Also you can bbq it on skewers....:):beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0
