These are the pickled green chilli peppers, often eaten with kebabs.

Sometimes they are extremely hot so use medium hot ones. Slice them thinly.

I used vegetables that were in my fridge, but you can use any you like. Cut into strips or chop.

Put the oil in a frying pan and add the minced pork. Stir fry and season with salt & pepper.

When the pork is cooked, remove to a plate and add the vegetables and chillis into the same pan.

When the vegetables are softened, return the pork to the pan and add the stock and seasoning ingredients and fry together.

Season to taste and add the potato starch to thicken the sauce. Add the bitesize pieces of tofu.

The tofu is fragile, so don't stir it, just shake the pan. It's now ready to serve.
