Sweet and Spicy Pork Stir Fry

Submitted by My Sammy Maia

"I found this recipe on the Chatelaine site,and have made it several times.This is a classic pineapple and pork combo with fresh veggies and chile flakes.It calls for canned pineapple,but I like to add fresh when I can,also the bonus is one pan clean up."

This was very good! I strayed a little from the original recipe by adding bean sprouts and shanghai noodles near the end of the process. I also reduced the red pepper flakes, due to the little 'uns eating with us. I would happily make this again! Thanks for posting.
