Leave the meat to cool in the sauce and refrigerate overnight. Drain the meat and cut into 5 mm thick strips. Heat the oil in a wok or deep frying pan until smoking and fry the strips of meat until golden brown.

Sauce
Heat the apples, sugar and water, stirring until the sugar has dis- solved. Simmer over low heat until the apples are tender. Add the butter and purée in a food processor until smooth. Add the pepper and pour over the pork strips.

Serve the meat with mashed potatoes and fried bok choy (Chinese cabbage) or stir-fried vegetables.
